It's a fair old chunk of money right now but here's a Denon RP20 on Yahoo Auctions Japan I've spotted for anyone interested. Never seen one before. Surprised how much the overhead mech looks like a presto.. .

That is a TOTAL Presto 6N clone. a couple of TINY differences, but even the main castings look the same. wild.

Crazy right?! That turntable looks like it might have a bit of grunt though!

I've seen this about a year and a half ago on yahoo auctions. Seems like who is ever selling it is having a hard time shifting it. Maybe the £14K starting bid has something to do with it.

thanks for the link, the pictures are great. interesting to see the dashpot setup, and the same gear system as on the Presto 14B (and others).
Looks like theres extra weight on the flywheel and bibber (more powerful?) motors.
