@noromance: I meant to make this point:
In the description of the London Jubilee on the London website, it is stated "The design profile and shape took design clues (I believe they meant to say design cues) from the earlier SC4E (the Decca 4 with an elliptical stylus)." The Jubilee features the line contact stylus I ordered (the same stylus the Super Gold is fitted with).
The Jubilee is now priced at $5,895, the Super Gold $2,895. My rebuilt Decca 4 will be basically a vintage-body style Jubilee, perhaps slightly superior to the Super Gold (though the Decapod raises its sound quality). Considering those prices, I consider my rebuilt Decca 4 to be a bargain. I'm going to mount it on my Zeta arm/Townshend Audio Elite Rock table
I read somewhere the John Wright has agreed to be available for technical consultation to the new London team, so I’m fairly confident their workmanship will be of good quality.
