Yep It's about 18 months old and rarely used, I haven't had the heart to take the covering off, once you do you spend the rest of your life trying to remove the fingerprints Carts are off, cos it's going into the vault with much of everything else I still use the TNT 3 for everyday playing Cheers Edited June 23, 2009 by Nude Link to post Share on other sites

Its going nicely David but went to an entirely whole new level when l upgraded the arm to the Kuzma. Its really startling the difference a good arm makes and how the music suddenly just gels.
