Shame the EMT930 is incorrectly supported!Originally Posted by Marco
Some more turntables, which for me hit the spot, visually (apart from the EMT, all feature use of the gorgeous Pierre Clément 'bean can' broadcast cartridge):
However, the EMT is being shown, simply because I love its 'industrial' looks!!
Yum, yum!
Marco.The owner won't be getting the best out of it with it being simply 'plonked down' on a couple of bits of wood.

There can't be many Mk.I SME 3009s knocking about these days. Since it is not fixed to the armboard, the tonearm alignment is going to get buggered each lime the arm is cued!
The strobe mat is a bit of overkill.

Of course you need the meter to tell you what speed the deck is running at if you can't read the legends of the speed selector switch, or your ears can't tell you either!

Interestingly, in the picture, the speed is set to 45 but the meter shows ‘33’. Which is right?Of course you need the meter to tell you what speed the deck is running at if you can't read the legends of the speed selector switch, or your ears can't tell you either!
That’s an OCD nightmare waiting to happen!!

Yes, agree about the unnecessary strobe, and I noticed the lack of screws in the arm base, still, it was one one the better pics around.
My SL-110 is armless!! Will do something about that one day.

Actually if you look at the picture closely the notch in the speed selector knob is at 33 also, the line at 33 is just a reflection.
