23rd January, 2005: Good, grief, surely not!? Could I be about to update this site after I've done the same for my SL-15 one? Well, don't hold your breath, but hopefully there will be some half-decent pics on my SL-15 site (along with some guidance on how the turntable works and how to get the best out of it) some time over this coming week. I hope.

1st February, 2004: I now have the service manuals for the SL-10 and SL-15. Some time over the next few weeks I'll put them up on the web.

I would particularly like to hear from people who may be able to send me scans or originals of service and user manuals, brochures, adverts and reviews for the SL-7, SL-10 and SL-15, as well as pictures of their own decks. I would also like to hear from anyone thinking of selling an SL-7, SL-10 or SL-15 (working or not), and the cartridges which were fitted to them. My e-mail address is: lineartechnics@yahoo.co.uk.

As you may have noticed, there's been precious little activity on this site for some time. This is due mainly to the fact that I have been suffering from multiple allergies and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for the last four years. I would like to thank the charity National Society For Research Into Allergy for their generous and unstinting help over that time, and for putting me in contact with a consultant allergist who was able to diagnose and treat my illnesses.
