The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition
@daveyf I can always hope that the hinges are merely ridiculously priced and not delusionally priced  
The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition
I think the 50th anniversary LP12 is great- finally redesigned the hinges which is something that should have been done long ago.  The rest of it- whatever floats your boat  So, are the hinges retrofittable and if so, what is the cost on the hin... 
Some new E-bay scams
I've had 3 eBay experiences as a buyer where eBay did nothing for me. Bought a lens described in mint condition but it was consumed by fungus. Seller claimed I was returning a different lease- eBay sided with seller. Another time I bought a Dynaco...
