LP12 Set up in Cambridgeshire / Northamptonshire

There's a very local Linn dealer here who can help you, the workshop in which where I sometimes hang out these days (why do you think I'm all but defending the bloody LP12 these days apart from huge costs - I've become rather familiar with them again )

Brampton - is that Northampton? What about Nth West of there to the Linn Guru himself in Leicestershire (Cymbiosis)? Pete S is arguably the most experienced single minded and dedicated Linnie-vinyl-man around these days and with masses of experience for this model old and new (although I predate him by a good few years and had training from the man who sorted the original setup procedure {Naim's Julian Vereker, believe it or not], as well as Jimmy Hughes, who ALWAYS managed a good sound from the deck) and he carries stocks of selected old parts (he rejects a lot of used stuff I gather).

The thing is, OLD LP12's are an effin' minefield and at thirty to nearly fifty years old, some samples made up until the early 90's where a good few revisions were done, have all manner of potential Sh#t happening with bearings and plinths which are very costly to sort out, although parts are available. I can happily advise generally here if needed to.
