The product is now on site!! And I guarantee that only one person on here has seen one in the flesh!

Perth is rather remote!! Even the Scottish one! He can send the CDX2 to me if you want and I will forward it on! You can tell him to sell the 5000 again though to be honest these are not very popular! shame as the amplifier in them is a real cracker!

True!! Unfortunately Lee is having problems with his broadband! However - how about a quick one question quiz! What is this a part of?!!

Have you downloaded the service manual? There is a good flow chart section in there.

That is a very nice 4000 on eBay. However lots of less good ones appear and many do not work. I would get one of those making sure it has the bits you want! They are not that uncommon despite what the ad says!

As with most of these older manuals, nicely detailed and lots of circuit diagrams as well as basic adjustments to the arm etc. Don't however be fooled by the nice simple exploded
