So I acquired this turntable a few years ago from a family member and never had the opportunity to do much with it till now. It's a Michell Prisma model which my uncle bought back in the '70's. Unfortunately, he removed the original cover and legs over the years. He said it suffered from acoustic feedback until he did so. The original parts have long since been tossed. I've recently been thinking about resurrecting this sexy machine and have had some positive responses from several sources including a Michell dealer, who is requesting a quote from Michell to manufacture a new cover. Also a plastics company responded very positively with great interest in fabricating a replica cover. I have a feeling his quote of $250 might be more in my price range than a custom made Michell replacement
If anyone has detailed pictures of these turntables, I will be machining a new lid prop rod and replica legs at my shop. Dimensions "should" be worth sexual favours, however you're out of luck there! I'll owe you a pint though!
This pic is from Michell's site, and is what (I hope) will be the final result!
