Neat-o, thanks! Maybe I can figure out something there. I haven't even looked at it in six or seven years I guess. It is too bad that they go for stupid money nowadays, not that it really matters, I sure wouldn't be buying one at these prices. Maybe I am missing something about these turntables....

Never having aspired to be a purist, I have nevertheless found a TT that I enjoy very much. I found a Craigslist ad a few years ago for a "broken" Sony PS-X5, a fully automatic turntable. It didn't have a headshell and the feet were broken. It is very heavy with a substantial platter. I put a headshell on it with a Grado Silver, got some spikes to use as feet, and have it sitting on a piece of slate on my stereo bench. It has provided hours and hours of pleasure.
I am currently using an AR-XB in my mancave system.
Regards,
D-Ray

Those industrial 'tables are sweet. There was one on ebay not too long ago. I forget what brand it was, but it was actually two 'tables on one thick, steel plinth and it had 16" arms. The ad said it weighed over 400 lbs. Looked to be 1970s vintage, maybe. It went for stupid money and I imagine the shipping was horrendous. But, it would be cool to have.....

The Akai tables really fly under the radar...I was listening to one I bought for 25 bucks today at the Klinic....simple semi-automatic with a cheapo p-mount Sharp cartridge....
the thing has been going since 1978 or so...its beat up but I like it
I bought it 3 or 4 years ago

Turntables and Licorice Pizza
My son, a child of the iPod generation, came home with a box the other day and announced he got a "record player". I looked at it and told him it was a turntable. He was disappointed as someone had given him a Jim Croci album and he wants to play it. He thought he could play it with just a turntable.
Tonight when I came home from work, son and husband were busy tinkering with that "record player".
Seems they have a new project to work on together.
