The stripdown (2)

The internals are surprisingly simple. Here we can see the trumpet horn and British made Garrard 20 motor. Garrard began life as appointed Crown Jewellers in 1721, tasked with care and maintenence of the crown jewels. They went on to make quite a name in the world of HiFi and are still revered by audiophiles today. Their later turntables sell for thousands of pounds. http://www.garrard501.com/history.html

The covering on the deck turned out to be leather look paper and came off easily after soaking in hot water.
