If you want something new, what about an Oppo? They appear very well built and have good reliability and servicing. I haven’t heard one myself though. Personally I’d go for a Naim player, Probs a CDS 1 or 2. Might try to hear an Isis valve too

Oh, just thought.....you were thinking of a Line Magnetic amp. Their players are well liked. Art K loved his.

One on ebay now
I reviewed a while ago and gave it an outstanding ptoduct award, which it is.

Seconded on the Lector. Heard one a few times at shows and always sounded sublime.

Utterly gorgeous thing and worth owning just for the pleasure of looking at and using.

My fear would be how long the laser and mechanism is going to last on such an old machine
Still, it does look rather tasty I must say.

Thanks lads, ive been burned before buying vintage (Sony 777Es) gorgeous sounding machine...... A month later the remote packed in, the lights started winking oot one at a time, drawer would open with button but had to push it shut, and finally it started skipping discs.
I did derive some pleasure with a hammer in the end though, that'll fukin teach it....!!!!!
Fingers crossed with this one.
Ooooh errr........it looks a bit busy inside.🙈🙉🙊
