So I have been haunting Craigslist. Finally, I come across a Philips 312. I saw one a few years back and really wanted to try it out. There are 2 models, the 212 and the 312. All I know at this point is the 312 has red LED lights and the 212 has green bulbs. Need a new cartridge for it before any further testing can happen. Its got a couple of marks but looks nice. Here are some before cleaning pictures :)

Thanks:) Polished up the dust cover and it looks alot better. Cleaned up the plinth and reglued part of the wood plinth that came loose. I can't wait to hear this thing. It operates very smoothly.

Ok, update. I finished polishing the dust cover. Looks good though there are scuffs on the inside from apparently the platter coming loose. I got a new stylus for the AT cart. Sounds pretty good. My next item on the agenda will be Petra cables to replace the interconnects. They are on their way to me so I will give you guys an update when I do this mod. It worked really well on my Technics SL-1400 turntable.
