flimsy Rega
Interested in which Regas you are referring to.
I've seen a few and couldn't describe any as flimsy, but I've not looked at any of the newer ones.
ChasnotRobert-
Yeah, Regas aren’t flimsy.

I started off with a P1 Plus (iirc) and that was maybe adequate. But once you start looking at what's available from the 1970-1980s (I) quickly realised that you get a lot more bangs for your buck. And yeah, I thought the P1+ and the P3 I got were rather cheaply made and a bit lightweight literally.

I'd recommend something like the Pioneer PL-12D - if you fancy that "vintage" look.
I paid (only) £120 for mine (had to go to Brighton but was definitely worth it). It's still a full size TT, but will play 45 and 33 RPM at the flick of a lever (belt-driven).
Much more solid sounding that the flimsy Rega if you ask me (I used to have a couple of Rega's.).
