Old turntables
Keep giving us the history and info Dave. I can assure everyone that Dave knows his TTs and although sometimes we have disagreed I respect his long experience and indepth knowledge, it could save someone the heartbreak of buying a polished turdOriginally Posted by DSJR
I take it that you plot don't want some background into these old record playing machines. Fair enough - I won't bother

The weight on the Acoustic Signature Analog One mk3 turntable is a record weight with LED showing speed accuracy. This turntable does not belong to me but if I had the money I would definitely buy it.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?

Not as many as you might think, but enough to keep me happy. I have just more than ten turntables.How many turntables have you actually got, King?

Not as "bad" as I thought, then! They are such elegant and tactile devices - who can resist! (I only have 4, modest ones...)Not as many as you might think, but enough to keep me happy. I have just more than ten turntables.

It's a TTWeights Classic (aluminum) record weight. I love it; but, if your cart is especially wide, this is not the one for you. They probably have other options in that case and/or another company entirely would be a good choice.
Thanks for the compliment on the pic. Generally, I suck as a photographer!
