Its never been mentioned on these forums to my knowledge. Probably a good thing too. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Its advertised on a well known auction site here.

This is an interesting link Dr. Eddie, have not seen that top plate before. I'll stick with my Khan Cool

I'd be very sceptical of someone that claims that a Lingo doesn't need a switch cutout - just shows you how much R&D went into it.

By the way, is this from that bloke who posted here about doing something like this? The copy certainly sounds like it.

It looks like the one a member on here was building a few months back.
I cant find the thread though.
I see the same question is on the green forum also.
Mud.

Why should it necessarily be a bad thing? It looks reasonably machined in the pictures. Maybe someone will post with their findings. I suspect the comment about the Lingo really refers to the Armageddon. There are a couple of contact numbers on the listing, so it's easy to find out Smile

There is a lot of faults in the description of the Linn top-plate in addition to the Lingo without needed hole. He don't understand how and why the steel plate is bent.

Well, i have a Rokk top plate fitted to my lp12.
I`ve not posted on here before.
I have no connection to the designer/seller of the Rokk.
My lp12 spec is:- afro plynth, trampolin 1, lingo 1, sole s/c, mission774 arm,
denon dl103r and of course rokk top plate. Lp12 first bought 1990, so a few bits changed over the years. However, one thing that hasnt changed is the
presentation of music, its still a lp12.
Regarding the rokk, fit and finnish are very good, set up is quicker than standard plate. For me it`s a huge improvement `sound quality

I think I'd missed most of that thread - thanks!
Well, it's another option, so each to his/her own. Might be nice in black Smile

What next for the old fruitbox?
