Most of them are cheap rubbish and a waste of money, the results will
sound abysmal. One good one though is the 'Pro-Ject Debut', available
from proper hi-fi shops, chains include 'Richer Sounds', 'Sevenoaks
Sound & Vision', 'Practical Hi-Fi' (no that's not a magazine, but 'Hi-
Fi World' is) and 'Superfi', not Maplin/Argos/Currys etc. I've had my
Debut (basic model) for the past three years and it's been very good,
a USB version is now available.

Thanks guys for all your comments and offers of help - I managed to
find the users handbook and get the turntable off (as long as you
translate the instruction 'turn to right' as anti-clockwise !!) and
there must have been some slight jerk to free the mains switch because
it then started turning.

Its often some lubricant gone sticky that stops these decks. If the torque
is not quite enough to overcome the problem. as for switches, is it a
linkage problem then?
