Systemdek II Turntable / ADC ALT-1 Tonearm

Here we have a vintage turntable from former Scottish company Dunlop. The Systemdek II was a well-regarded unit that we believe was launched in 1983 and our example is certainly in good condition for its age. It is fitted with an ADC ALT-1 tonearm, Ortofon VMS20E Mk2 cartridge, cork turntable mat, and will be professionally packaged along with our normal three month warranty. Please note this warranty does not cover the cartridge.
