Dr. Dual

Some 20 years ago I took my carefully stored vintage records out of their storage and bought a turntable from the local eBay owned 'Marktplaats'. It was the same type of Dual turntable I had used when I was a teenager.
The guy I bought it from simply put it in a box and shipped it to me. When it reached me, it was in such a bad state (dust cover broken, tonarm bend, cartridge and needle broken, plint cracked) that I felt like crying
