I’ve had it all these years. I upgraded it to a Valhalla spec and later changed the arm to the Ittok from a Linn Basik LVV. I also changed the plinth at one point .
All the spare parts I gave to a friend who swapped them on th his Thorens TD 150., along with a Linn armboard.
I think it was an easy mod , no cutting or drilling needed.
The Supex (thanks for the spell check) has just been re-instated after sitting in a box for thirty years.
My Asak finally died.
Nice. I wish I’d got an Ittok for mine back in the day. I could only afford an Akito 1 but the bearings didn’t last.
I can’t use my lid while playing a record, it touches the finger lift!
Linn lowered the lid height and its not high enough to accomodate the aro playing with a linn cart, probably deliberate.
That would be a bit nasty wouldn’t it?
you sure ?
Looks like a spring collapsed…
No, not good.
Wow, what a view! (LP12 and background)
That’s quite easily solved by changing the angle of the first bend in the finger lift. This was done on mine when it was initially installed.
I have an Akito 1 and had the bearings repaired and the arm upgraded by Audio Origami about 3 or 4 years ago. He said it should do me for another 20 or 30 years and is now at Ittok or possibly Ekos level with the upgrade.
Maybe I should have got rid and got an Ekos mk1 or 2.
The Lp12 sounds very very good. Will hang on to the arm for a while longer!
As AlanJ says, all sorted long ago and easy to fit as no soldering necessary. However, the Radikal will give great results on a top shelf if you can spare the room and in that situation I’d continue to use the straight plugs for best cable dressing options. Within the Fraim/on a shelf lower down then ideally you need right-angled plugs ot avoid contact with the rear leg/spacer on the Fraim.

Nice plinth but Mose too close to the LP12 and arm. Any way you can home the Mose elsewhere within your system?
Mario, if important to you, you can off-set(bend) the finger-lift a little and compensate with the appropriate azimuth weight adjustment. 
Hi sweet.bippy - Never forget that view 
- Hope you are doing ok in the Big Apple 
KR, Peter
Thanks for the advice on that. I now have enough IsoBlue racks that it would be entirely possible. Back then it was my only choice. The LP12 and PSU are in storage, as I’ve used a Well-Tempered Amadeus GTA for a few years (and now, just for fun, have a Clearaudio Concept with the Satisfy arm). At some point when life is a little less hectic, I’ll get it out and have it re-tuned. Really appreciate that point in moving it, though. Cheers!
Thanks Peter. I’m very happy to leave it where it is and enjoy the visual benefit of seeing my only
2 Linn components side by side😂
Hiya Peter,
Great to hear from you! Hope you and yours are doing well, too. We’re definitely ready to start traveling again – I imagine you may be feeling the same way!

A very tidy, original and basic LP12, the only upgrade (so far) is a Mose Hercules and shiny platter.
Please don’t scold me for polishing my platter as it looks a darn sight better than the tarnished state it was in at time of purchase. Also apologies for pic quality, I will do better when it comes out of storage.
