In an attic in the UK. Currently being cleaned and sorted.

Interesting story to follow, with photos. May be for sale soon.

Do we have any interested bidders?

Well, here's a once in 30 year event-

A mint Gale GT-2101 turntable, with SME II Improved (non-detachable arm) and
Stanton 681EEE Cartridge. Once owned by Elton John.

Watch and weep. Sell the kids.

Seems there are permissions issues with regard to viewing the picture
John - I signed in with my Windows Live account and still couldn't get
to it for whatever reason.

Anyway, I was going to say that the only way I have a chance of owning
this is if they decide to raffle it!

Hi John, thats interesting. Can you let us have the story? I heard of
two others recently that are in strorage in the UK as well. With some
of the former Gale employees and one is kept in storage for someone
else associated with Elton Johns band.

Can't get in either, John!

It is not worth trying anyway, because when we had lunch yesterday,
Elton promised he would give it to me as a Christmas present, so:
Sorry guys!
