my sense/from what I have read the LP12 looks great but is a right faff and for 500 notes you are unlikely to get one that's sorted. The Ariston RD80 is a budget version of the LP12 that's prolly in budget, I bought one new in the mid-80s and loved it. I now have a Michell Focus One and am quite pleased with it (also in budget)

Ok, got my Beogram 1203 back. From the expert. Doesn't bloody work despite his claims and the new needle I bought from him is bent. Brilliant. Another 100 odd quid down the drain.
I'm giving him a phone call today but think I'm cutting my loses.
So I need a new turntable. I know nothing about turntables. I like the Braun ones but fear they may be more hard work than they are worth (like B&O stuff).
I'm after something that is European and looks nice. Sub £500. Thoughts people?
