Can anybody identify this turntable?

[wilro15]

Found somebody selling this turntable on Craigslist, they describe it as "A record deck made of glass and wood" - no brand name mentioned! Seems strange...

Hope this helps!

That platter reminds me of ones made by Pink Triangle back in the 80's

Tricky, as it looks a bit like an RPM5, and a bit like an RPM9 and a bit like an RPM10...

How much are they asking for it?

Project RPM4...?

Nah it was oval not teardroppy

The turntable comes as part of this package (which looks a bit dodgy) to me: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/ele/4160525071.html

Doesn't seem right to list that much gear which must cost in excess of £6000 for £4000. And on craigslist which I think tends to be riskier than ebay.

He also lists 2x Slave amps - but I think he means the PSX-R power supplies.

My first thought was £10k. Those are Tag Mclaren Calliopes aren't they - weren't they about 3 grand?!??!

EDIT - I agree though, it seems odd that he doesn't know anything about them; anyone who'd bought a Pro-Ject RPM9 is probably going to know that the platter is acrylic, not glass, and would be more knowledgeable about model numbers of the Cyruses.

Stolen?

 

[John Duncan]

All lumped together in one lot makes it quite identifiable...

Ah, that's right. Ta JD.
