   I will add my US$0.02.   
      
   A very typical German turntable of the era, competing head to head with PE and   
   Dual, less so with Revox, Thorens, and Philips. And like the little girl with   
   the little curl...   
      
   There was a little girl,   
   Who had a little curl,   
   Right in the middle of her forehead.   
   When she was good,   
   She was very good indeed,   
   But when she was bad she was horrid.   
      
   With apologies to Longfellow.   
      
   And, as with many other German things - they never used one part where   
   three-or-more would do.
