Near MissArvosana 3/5
In general this is a great turntable for the money.
Just a few details that could easily have been made better for almost no extra cost.
Main one being the lever to lift the arm, which being a fully manual turntable is a simple, but key component.
I find it an odd design flaw and a huge omission in the production of what is basically a great turntable.
The lever dilemma being addressed and the change from plastic to metal for the strobe housing and start stop button would add a huge improvement to the design with minimal cost.
Imagine people might even pay a little more to have those features improved.
I know I would have.
