I realize this is a late response, but I only just discovered you. I own a Tannoy/Micro TM55DD direct drive turntable. Bought it in 1974 from Federated Electronics in Los Angeles (long since defunct). The turntable still works. It's got a Micro-Acoustics QDC-1 cartridge, and I have the original owner's manual, the Tannoy/Micro brochure, and the QDC one-page lit. The T/M cost $347 new at the time, and what else do you want to know? If you're still around, of course. Not meant facetiously. I can Xerox any info that's helpful.
