I just learned that there exists two versions of this Elac model.
Being attracted to turntables (record changers actually) from the 1960's, I've been actively looking for one of these Miracord's locally and I've just been advised of one.
The photos I looked at show it as a model 10 not 10H. Up till now, I was only aware of the 10H.
So this newfound info says the H refers to a Hysteresis motor. I did not know that. I have a 50H with one of those motors but have seen other Elac's (600 model numbers) woth more common open frame asynchronous ones.
I guess the latter is what an Elac 10 (no H) is equipped with.
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers I suppose and if the table is good cosmetically with no missing parts, it will do.
I wonder if when buying one of these things new, what the difference in price would have been between a 10 and 10H? Seems like kind of a niggling detail to offer two motors
And then, so I read, there is an F model for use by Fisher. I wonder what was different about that one.
