Sorry it's off topic, I fancied a Pink Triangle turntable , just too expensive for me at the time.
I settled for a direct drive Pioneer turntable, dual motor, separate  one for the pick up.

I built up my Cyrus system over several years starting with Pre-Amp, Power Amp CD Player, before adding individual power supplies & Bi-Amping. Downsized the speakers to more compact Bose Acoustimass 5.
Sadly only use it a couple of times a year, I just can't bring myself to part with it.

When Wendy was out back in the 1990s I broke several ornaments that fell off the shelves from the vibration caused by my then huge Mission floor stander speakers that could handle the 100 Watts per channel output.
No wonder I now have dual heating aids.😄

Betcha these weren't played on anything as esoteric Ted. Probably a Dansette !  .....  I just had to buy them though because of the cover photo's featuring 'our' bikes !

Sorry not replied sooner but I had to get involved in some essential keep life ticking over everyday work.
If you can work on the CBX then you are half way there, it is very difficult to find anyone who will work on a CBX and of course very expensive. I am not sure how owners that can’t do their own stuff go on really, but that applies to most classic bikes I guess.

In terms of difficulty I think my 550 has been a more challenging rebuild that the CBX was, I guess I was lucky with the CBX because although it was in bits it was actually in ok condition. The 550 on the other hand  was on the road but a pile of poo. I think if you can keep a 550 the road then you can keep a CBX on the road. But whatever you do don’t buy a bad CBX. 

I have got a write up about the CBX rebuild John Whatt did on Bob Curries CBX that went disastrous wrong. Not once does it ever mention about the bead blasting, but that is what obviously what happened.  It got rebuilt again by someone but failed again before the guys at SEP reluctantly took on the job of rebuilding it correctly. I believe John Whatt stood by his word and paid for the repairs.  I believe one side of the Honda exhausts I have on my bike came from the stuff he sold to raise the cash.
I have seen photos of the inside of a couple more CBX engines that have been grit blasted, what a mess they are totally stuffed and basically scrap. It seems the grit embeds itself in the aluminium of the crankcases and comes out when the oil and cases get hot.  Around 10 to 30 mins seems to be the life of the engine.

Hope you have the shim tool for the CBX, even with it it takes hours, and the cost of the rocker cover gasket!
