Post by Graham on Jun 17, 2019 10:58:25 GMT 12Perhaps this should be in the 'Audio Porn' section, but here is a shot of a totally original SP25 that I have just finished servicing. It has the EPA-501H arm with an Ortofon VMS30 Mkii cartridge installed. The beautiful plinth ways a ton !!

it's surprising the large number of SP series turntables in nz...
they would have been expensive back in the import limited 80's

Someone has two
 I paid $725 for the SP25 motor unit and $615 for the SH15B2 base back in 1985, for my original unit. I reputedly got the last base in the country and there were no EPA-501 arms left, so it has always sported a Grace 727 in lieu. Never play Leapfrog with a Unicorn.
