* Linn Cirkus upgrades – Brings this early Linn LP12 up to a high specification whilst still having the original look. Original smoked lid with ultra cool lid prop.
* Hercules 2 power supply - now runs at 33/45 rpm (just hold the button longer until it lights blue for 45rpm)
* Audio Classigue Baseboard - 3mm same as original board and trampoline so fits perfect. 3 access points to fine tune / adjust suspension without removing the baseboard. A huge improvement on the flimsy original
 
Overall, an amazing turntable with retro looks and modern upgrades.
Sounds amazing.
 
Not perfect but no one is at 50 years old.
