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. ------------- Be seeing you. |

... and the Pheonix was just the newer version of the Ranger, albeit with cheaper decks, parts, case etc etc. Has anyone seen my anorak? ------------- Chas n Dave : it's like Drum and Bass but with beards. E=mc² ±3dB |

the turntables were a bsr import after they shut the Birmingham plant the cases were made in the same factory in leeds as they always had been wish i had taken a camera at the time of the auction when fal shut, i think the auction was over 2 days followed by another 2 days removing all the stuff i bought  |
