A friend gave me this turntable amongst a few other things (see link to thread below)


http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=355739

Here are some pics; I cleaned it up and lubed everything it sounds great! I just have a few "auto" issues to sort out.

I've found all the info I need here (at this great site) so, I don't need help right now (I'll let you know if I do!!!).

I just wanted to share pictures of this beautiful TT.

Nice TT. I like the wood bases on these. Looks so much classier than the cheesy plastic ones that their later changers came with.
 
Nice catch! :thmbsp:

The Lab 80 has been on my short-list of TTs I'd still like to find, but the only one I've found here was in a hi-fi shop priced right at the top of the market, at around US$600 (IIRC). The seller knew he had a Japanese customer who visits Hong Kong regularly, who would take it at that price, so he wouldn't negotiate from it, so I passed. Haven't seen another one... yet. Love the vintage look of that wooden tonearm! :yes:
 
Thanks for the invite Gillsev!!!

I'm in; looking at the great pics right now!

Arkay, the price on mine was right! $600...ouch!

I had it hooked up to my Pioneer SA-7700 & stacked Advents; it sounds different compared to my other TT's.

I read how different TT's have different sounds but never really believed it until now.

I always thought it was ALL about the cart; such a newb!
