Experience with Transcriptor Turntables?


Anyone own or have experience with the rather flashy looking (for their time) turntables called Transcriptor, especially with the vestigal arm? Am interested in comments of performance and availability - including parts. Thanks.

I loved the turntable since I saw A Clockwork Orange. My brother-in-law had one that I could never get him to sell to me. Over Easter when they came to visit there was a large heavy box on the table and he said it was for me. When I opened the box - there it was in all it's glorious beauty. However, to say the least it needs total restoration. I just received a quote from Michell of 495.00 (pounds) or about 750 usd. (I'm on disability and music is my life). My other turntable is an LP12 and the motor just broke. Does anyone in the U.S. restore the Transcriptor Turntable? I already have someone to fix my LP12.
I have a Michell skeleton and am replacing the cartridge. However, the color coding for the wiring has worn off. Does anyone know which wires go to which post on the Vestigial tone arm? The turntable was given to me without a cartridge so I'm at a loss. Help please! Thanks. Rob
I'm looking for a couple of platter weights if anyone might have 1 or 2.  Thanks, Rob
