Nice looking table! It appears to have been inspired by the Thorens TD-124, the state-of-the-art back then.

Definately wouldn't mind owning that. Plays 16s and 78s as well! wow

It is pretty NEAT isn't it!

I don't know. It's cool and different looking so it would be a great novelty. But remember, Onkyo was Dokorder a long time back (when this was made??) - not the greatest make. The quality of the Dokorder devices (tape decks) with which I am familiar was nothing like what they were building in Europe or the US or even the better Japanese makes. They got a lot better later and they dropped the Dokorder name.

It would be interesting to get a report if an AKer buys it.

Possibly inspired by the TD 124, but very much " On the cheap ", wouldn´t you say? You just have to compare the Bearing and Spindle. By comparison, this is Neat but "Petite", i.e. children´s toy.

I had one of those!

I had one of those in 1963! Had a tubular tonearm tho and no base! I used it for about a year mounted on a cardboard box until I bought my first AR turntable...made me forget all about the NEAT. If I recall, the NEAT was very rigid and solid...seemed well made but I couldn't properly judge without proper mounting. I think I didn't spend more than $40 for it new.
