Someone who likes 'something different' will probably buy it...
My first turntable was a BD1 kit on a home made wooden plinth.
The arm was from Goldring Lenco turntable.
GL 75 was it?
Cartridge was a Goldring 850.
Total outlay was approx £35/£40 back in 1969.
That is about £600 today.
Gosh !

I remember my first 'table back in 1975, a BIC. It was all plastic for the most part, but had a gimbal bearing on the tonearm. Super simple! And it worked. Didn't sound bad from what I remember. My sister was 5 years older, and she was always jealous that her boyfriends would rather listen to my stereo when they stopped by the house. But you're right! You could buy a lot more for your money back then. There were some very nice tables out back in '69. My cousin had one that could find the space between tracks with a laser! An ADC? If you pushed 3, it would play the third track, that was rocket science back then!

ADC Accutrac 4000, although it was an infra-red sensor and not a laser! http://www.thevintageknob.org/adc-Accutrac_4000.html
I'm currently on my third...

I wonder if that's the model in columbo?
