Planar 3 is a good deck.
Its possible to get some excellent results out of them. That is a Michell Gyrodec with some mods and I was very lucky in that Mrs Hatred bought the deck for me as an engagement present. I sold my last turntable to buy the cartridge and saved up for the arm and phono stage. Even with the luxury of buying most things at cost/trade, I'd struggle to put it together now so I am very grateful I have it.
