Good job BOB,

I like the tapered base, makes it look very professional.

Phil.

Nice Job BOB
always wanted a 401 but the prices went to high for-me so settled for my Thorens TD150mk2

Thank's for the comments chap's, had it running today, very good, powerful bass, but I still like my LP12, they are fetching good money Colin, and I may try to sell, I gave £125.00 for it and the arm, some ten years ago.BOB
