Linn Basik/Akito

I just came across a Linn Basik TT/Akito 1/K5 setup ('91). Note that it's not an LP12 Sondek- rather, it has no suspension (just 3 rubber feet, basically inverted rubber cups), simple 33/45 construction with plastic inner platter and metal outer platter. Anyone on the list know anything about this TT? I searched the archives but found only references to the Basik Plus arm. According to one magazine, original list price in '94 was around 400 GBP. Can anyone give an estimate on how much it's worth now and if it can be upgraded? The only thing I can take from it to a LP12 setup is the arm, and the Akito 1 seems to have its limitations, from what I've read on this list and the AA LP12 FAQ. How would a Basik/Akito/Asaka stack up against my current setup- Systemdek IIx with Scorpio arm/Asaka? Thanks for any information your can provide!
