[QUOTE="Marc Hugo, post: 471216, member: 15915"] Skollie is right on the money. BSR appeared to be - I mean I heard this often - "British Standard Rumbler". Just one point, frowned as they were in the seventies when Garrard and Goldring Lenco and Thorens ruled the farmyard (not even going as far as Oracle etc... it was a lightweight pickup and won't, even today, damage your record nearly as much as one of these appalling Ion record players with mp3 jacks or the other rather pompously named Trouvadour thing being sold in Musica. So, while poor, now in 2014, we've managed to get in considerably worse from the Peoples Republic of China. And it'll sound better. I realise that this is faint praise (and that's all it deserves) but way worse is made and imported into SA while 200g pressings for R229.50 are being sold next to them. [/QUOTE]
