Thanks for the link Martin, interesting info - it seems Labcraft was an Australian company but I can find very little information about them. Most of these tt's seem to be located in Adelaide so may have been a South Australian based company. Can find very little info on other forums (vinylengine, audiokarma etc). I did find a thread suggesting they were mainly used in radio stations due to their quality??

Shame the asking price is so ridiculous, it would be interesting to have a closer look and a listen to it...

The cartridge looks like an Ortofon OM / OMB to me. Quite nice carts actually, I have a little project with one coming up :)

They fit on standard headshells.

That is one of several different brands, building turntables, more or less based
on B&O's Beogram 1000.
We saw a couple of these before:

Can anyone shed any light on this?

The 'SRT' and 'Labcraft' branded parts look like B&O to my uneducated eye (like a beogram 1000 - even font style of SRT) but the B&O branded cartridge looks wrong.
