    Default Vintage and Classic Turntables

    Hi all
    Lets see some of those classic turntables.
    Even if they are not restored but work in progress.
    And lets face it we all have some work in progress!!
    Hoping to see some great turntables.
    Cheers

    Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don't really own the album.

    Not really, dude. Outside of the Techiepedia, there's no mention of Techies anywhere in Analogue Art, only belt-drive T/Ts and idlers.... Therefore, wiith the Techie chat having its own dedicated section, it's not difficult to ignore

    Anyway, Scott, nice AR T/T - I especially love the 'chunky' tonearm!

    Default LUXMAN PD-375 Vacuum Disc turntable

    One of my Luxmans, the pump is not working on this and is a work in progress.
    I just love the quality of the build on Luxman turntables.
