Sweet TT!

The blue and green colors remind me of a factory floor - it has such a strong effect on me they almost don't, at first glance, look like TTs compared to the first two. That doesn't change the fact they're drool-worthy!

Only 100 ever made, totally hand made in any colour you wanted.
Built in 1979.
Must have been a good year, same year my Exclusive P3 was released in Japan

Sorry, they just don't do it for me....I'd take an SME 20 instead.

Those four are the same exact TTs in Ivan's first post...all these photos were taken in the same room. You can tell by the lighting, crown moulding, walls, etc.

The way I understand it -- he obtained a copy of the blueprints of which he studied them for 2 weeks and then began the build. Doesn't say who or if he did the machining, but did mention he found the identical paint Thorens used and sprayed it 5 times.

Pretty smart & thorough fellow & beautiful table.
