What to do with my fruitbox

Chuck it in a skip? Yes, I am one of the few to own up to currently owning one of these on here
I bought it in 1999 for £200 with Lingo1 from a farmer mate who had abandoned it when he got into deejaying with two technics decks. Don't tell the wife he said - spent it down the boozer.
It's a 1989 model in black Ash (boring) with pre cirkus bearing and original AC motor. I bought a Naim Aro for it and later a 2nd hand Rubikon sub chassis made by those fine fellows at Audioflat. Never fitted it though as been too busy arsing about with other stuff. I also picked up a second hand Avondale Audio Taps2 psu. All bought before I found thus fine forum in 2017. Cartridge is a Lyra Argo (cost an arm and a leg).
But the purchase I am most proud of is a set of Anologue Innovation "in sole" elastomer spring replacements from Alfi Not fitted them yet either
So I have Rubikon, spring replacements and Avondale psu to sort out. I don't plan to spend anymore on it apart from maybe getting Alfi to move the motor position from 10.30 to 7.30 . Yeah it will be a bit of a triggers broom fruibox but hopefully I will have removed most of the bad points . Hope I like it
