TheKong,
Part of the problem could be that both of us were using the stock Technics plinth, which I understood was not that great. We are in the process of getting some slate plinths for our MKIIs
The plinth is a big deal as well as the rebuild on the power supply.
It's easy to just get it running, replace a few caps in the outboard supply and leave the old circuit board and parts under the turntable platter untouched.
With a half way rebuild your description of the sound fits, not much in the way of organic or clean presentation and poor resonance control due to light plinth and 25 year old parts that are way past their prime.
I heard my original MK2 with a stock plinth and platter and then almost immediately built a custom plinth, rebuilt the circuits and added an aftermarket mat and clamp.
As I've posted before, those things are almost the bare necessary for it to show what it's capable of.
I also ran into an Exclusive P3a with a price tag that I couldn’t resists. I have yet to set it up in my system, but I am expecting some serious fun comparing all these TTs in the next few months! For “grounded” arms, will have the FR64S, Phantom MKI, SME V, Schick, Technics EPA 100 ready. :-)
The Exclusive P3a should beat the Technics MK2, I'm interested in your report after you try it. Of the tonearms you list I only had the Technics EPA 100.
