I bought two of these, actually, about five or six years ago when I was thinking about putting together the world's most cumbersome DJ setup.
Kidding--I bought two because I thought that I might need a parts unit to get one up and running. (Why did I buy them at all? Weakness. Or a lonely impulse of delight.) Luckily, though, they both seem OK. And they've survived sitting neglected in my basement well enough.
It's a big turntable. 16-inch platter. I think that Redboy had one for about a minute a few years ago. Slim chance for me of getting it onto a rack or stand, so I thought to build a base that would make it kind of a standalone unit. I think I was influenced by memories of some photos of a gentleman playing records on his Garrard 301 sitting cross-legged on the floor. But now that it's here . . . Did I mention that it's big?
It runs. Pretty smoothly. I plan to change the motor mounts at least. And to put an arm on it.
More to come.
