I've seen this combo (with Mayware) go for $800 US on eBay, but, frankly, I don't know why they're that high. I've got a Skeleton with the original Vestigal arm. It's a good combo, but I only keep it .......

Isn't that the sign of the Devil? Yes, I know of the Spotmat. My point is that the Transfi mat uses points to elevate the LP, which therefore make minimum contact with the LP surface, which is IMO mor .......

Hi That Skeleton turntable is missing an important part as pictured. If the Skeleton is used with a regular tone-arm, as that one is, then it needs an extra fourth foot under the armboard which Transc .......

korneluk's numbers are in the ballpark, but the tonearm has a lot to do with it. The original Vestigal arms have more collector value and actually work very well with high-compliance carts, though the .......

Or maybe a possibility that this tonearm base incline is the actual design of the turntable. This came to mind as the metal base on a Linn LP12 (not the armboard or plinth) has an ever so slight incli .......

Beware the Skeleton table! It is a very cool design but the spyder, or black plinth that is suspended and holds the platter is very unstable. It is made from a fiberglass/bondo type material and is ve .......

I'd say the 'bullhorn' support came later, as the bigger Prisma has the same 'suspension'. It might even be that the Clockwork Orange model was a Transcriptor, rather than a Michell proper, but in t .......
