Looks like a great bit of kit & im sure it will eventually find the right home. Just be patient with it.
If I had the extra I'd definitely get this and make a cracking deck out of the best bits and have the lesser one to sell
You're not too far away from it either (deck is at my mum's in Cheshire), so see if you can make the sums work ...

That LP12 is a lovely bit of kit! Why don't you nab it?
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I did consider it - briefly - @Phil_aka_Pip, before I sold off all the rest of his stuff (amps, power conditioners, cables, etc), but it would never be used. I use CDs for proper listening, flacs/mp3s for convenience. Vinyl would never happen.
Have you tried the AV Forums? https://www.avforums.com Their classified are pretty active
A *good* vinyl setup sounds great. Such quality does not come cheap.

The downside is that I encountered a lot of "specialist" questions too. So, despite explaining that it was my (deceased) father's kit, and that I knew nothing about it, I had people saying that they were interested, but wouldn't buy unless I could tell them how many playing hours the cartridge had on it, or what the power supply in the deck was, or when it was last serviced (and who by, and did I have the certificate) etc ...
Others wanted this bit, or that bit, and why didn't I split the deck/arm/cart/isolation/PSunit and sell them all separately. Errrm, I'd already explained that I wasn't going to do that, and why.
OK, I get that it's expensive kit and people are entitled to ask questions, but some of the questions either suggested that they hadn't read the description, or just wanted to undermine the sale or demonstrate their level of "specialist" knowledge. So, I sold some stuff easily/quickly (and with virtually no questions), but this seemed to attract the "specialists".
Bloody forums ...
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
Bloody forums, yes indeed. HiFi stuff does seem to attract a high level of know-alls and techno nerds. Likewise camera forum classifieds seem to be frequented by blokes with massive OCD issues (god help you if they find a single cat hair or a whiff of cigarette smoke on the box you send out, let alone the actual product.)
