Vanguard classical, very rare on this side of the Atlantic (Netherlands). I have a few Vanguard pop and folk records, Joan Baez, John Hammond.
Just got in this vintage Philips AG2230 TT. It was the first high fidelity stereo TT of Philips in the early 1960s. Hybrid idler/belt drive. I ordered a new belt, round instead of flat.
A quick test revealed that the original cartridge and styus still sound amazingly clear after almost 50 years. It is the best of both worlds, it has the slam, dynamics and speed of the idler but with more finesse and less rumble.

I'm guessing that arm will work well with low compliance MC carts. Hopefully the headshell coupler is interchangeable with SME and Ortofon. If so multitudes of options abound:-)
Perhaps a real sleeper. Not much info about this model about the web. Maybe not many made it out of NL?

I bought the Bernstein boxed cd Mahler set. Seems fine to me.
