Good morning everyone.

I have an old friend who’s turntable has stopped working and is definitely very dead!

He loves his huge record collection and lives alone now his 99 year old Dad died a couple of months ago.

I tried to get his unit fixed and the lockdown caught us out plus they confirmed it was shot.

He lives alone and I’m asking if anyone has an old turntable they could give him ?

Just a thought and a really special treat for this particular man.

Please help if you can , I can arrange courier collection.

Thanks Swanson / Ranui neighbours .., lets try and make this guys day .
