It's been a painful few weeks, my droogies, but it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel.
To explain...
My beloved Goldring Lenco GL85 up and died over xmas. Tried all the obvs things - no joy. I've been waiting for a pal to come over to help with prognosis.
In the meantime, I happened to look on The Bay and as chance would have it, there was a fully working and prof serviced 85 with low initial bids. You never see them, and they can go upwards of £250 in full W/O. But took a punt, and scored it for £70!
Plan is to collect from London and perhaps swap out all the innards into my (super rare) white plinth, or if we can get my current deck back in action somehow I'll have a backup deck/parts.
Still, Im not terribly patient and the enforced wax hiatus is bloody killing me!
