Get yer Turntables out for the lads Competition

Those Gyrodecs are timeless- makes me want to buy one on looks alone, and what is the motor on the second T/T doing being used as a record weight?;)

The Gyro with the SME looks great .

So does the LP12 , still a lovely looking thing .

True

:eek: How many turntables have you actually got, King?

A PROPER WORKING Legend ain't no fruitbox guv'nor. Quite the opposite in fact, very lively yet with refinement almost in the best PT class. Some of these later AR decks had poor bearings though, and I believe the model-name was changed when the bearing was re-worked. the early decks looking like this had severely wobbly bearings and the sonics were extremely poor, much worse than any rega or pro-ject IMO. A later one was in a different league entirely I thought and an EB101 is an extremely good value used deck I think - prices were around a ton for ages on these latter decks - far better than a knackered old Ariston IMO.

I take it that you plot don't want some background into these old record playing machines. Fair enough - I won't bother :(

The smiley I posted (:)) is there to indicate I was having a joke, a sense of humour does help to reciprocate mate.

I had an EB101 for many years and it was sound, of course I am interested in TT culture and history, keep em comin.
