The CD63 sounded great but I couldn't hear a difference between that and a big old Sony unit I had been given.

I picked up an absolute gem this morning though, a Technics SL7 for £60 from a gent in Worthing.

.

need to work on the lid with some brasso or some Super resin polish to bring out the scratches in the perspex but other than that it will replace the PST-1 shortly.

You really were not kidding about it being a giant recorder! Full VHS tapes! Think we fired something like that back in the early 90s to record my uncles wedding.

The 4 speakers probably work with the ferguson offering selectable pairs or both, This offers a cheap quadrophonic type listening arrangement.

Whats written on the record deck?

I believe it says Garrard - looks like an SP25.

ETA: No, it's apparently a 63SP.

Hope you didn't "bin" bin the CD-63? I use my refurbed one as my daily CD player and it sounds excellent.
