I had A Zeta on my LP12, and was bought from new. IIRC it cost about £900, and I ran it with a Mission 773 LC, Supex 900s, and various Linn cartridges. It was certainly a very powerful arm with oodles of bass. So £45 is a bit of a bargain! As has been said, check the bearings and wiring....both have had issues in the past. If it's in good nick, put it on an LP12 and it will sing again. Great combination. A word of caution....the arm is quite heavy so make sure the TT is set up properly, otherwise it will sound dull and slow!
Good buy!

Paul.

Well the table i think is a pink triangle, but there is no power supply with it. and i really need to see one in bits to see whats up with it. Have reconnected the suspension but cannot work out the belt i think something is missing from the top. if anyone has some photos of pink tranangle turntables with outthe plater on it would be useful to see.


There is a dennon Dl-110 on it though.

Belt on a PT goes around the inner platter, you need a piece of string to pull it over the pulley. All I can say is you lucky sod :D

if it's a PT Too then you have a problem if the psu has gone walk-about. The PT Too has an out-board psu and you will need to find one to get the t/table to run. If you can't (it could be difficult) the alternative is to find a second hand Origin Live dc100 motor, control unit and psu and then you'll have to fit it :shock:
