Yes,probually was around 5 or 600 hundred back in the mid 80's.
Fal were seen as a bit of poor second choice to Citronic though...if you had the £600 for one of these,you were allways better off spending an extra £100 and buying a Citronic. The Citronics had better turntables (and arms),better mixer,and better amplifier modules,and also looked so much nicer with the hardwood plinths and cases. |

... and the Pheonix was just the newer version of the Ranger, albeit with cheaper decks, parts, case etc etc.
Has anyone seen my anorak? |
