Hi all, I have just acquired a Systemdek IIX, complete with an Audio Technica AT1120 tone arm and Shure M75ED cartridge, there is also a spare AT110E cartridge.
It has been lying around in a cupboard for the last few years and not used for probably the best part of the last decade. I picked it up at the weekend and as there were no transport screws, I had to drive home carefully with it on the front seat - hopefully no damage has been done.
The deck looks pretty immaculate, there are no scratches, chips or marks apart from the faded logo on the lid, however, I would think that it is in need of some TLC.
I have a few questions that I'm hoping you vinyl junkies out there can answer:
1) is there is a dealer/person in the London/Essex area that would be able to service the deck?
2) i'm unfamiliar with the tone arm and cartridges - are these any good or would an upgrade be worthwhile?
3) will it be an improvement on my Project Debut III?
Thanks all,
