So I finally got my hands on the PL-560, I got for free. It's quite filthy and missing both phono plugs, feet and head shell as expected. There's 50 cms of the old phono leads left, so I'll start with a pair of new plugs. Feet will be some sort of squash/tennis ball solution and since the Ortofon cartridge doesn't fit the original headshell, I'll use the other Pioneer one I picked up at the same time.
And then there's the thing about prying my dads vinyl collection from the hands of his greedy cunt of a widow. Apparently she saved them, as he was just going to throw them out. Yeah, throw out the original pressings he bought in the 70's and knew the exact value of, sure...
