Multiple TT's

[gillsev]

For those of you with multiple turntables, which brand dominates your collection?

Mine is ...

First in the lead => Garrard (Lab 80 / A70 / Z2000B)

Second => Dual 1229Q
=> Thorens TD 124

That Thorens avatar is nice. Why not post some photos?

And an odd Pioneer(1964 PL-7E 3-speed idler), and a Rek-O-Kut N-33H ('61 belt drive), made it into the mix as well

2 Garrards in my mix

1. Garrard AT6 Mk II (Stacker / Changer for the oldies!).
2. Garrard SL95B (needs refurbished).
3. Dual 1219 (Original Unrestored Survivor). Impressive for what I'm used to.
4. Voice of Music ('63 Changer, w/Westinghouse Tube Console, needs refurb).
5. Technics SL-1200MK2. (Music Cave Workhorse, I love it).

Lab 80
Lab 80 MKII
AT60
RC88/4

others:
Weathers Townsend

I've nicknamed this place "home of the unwanted Garrard". I bought the RC88 and the Zero-100. The rest have all been free or so close to free it doesn't really count. They all work too, none of them came to me working.

Lets see some pretty decks.

 

[kirk57]

4 or possibly 5 BIC 960s (thrift store finds)
3 Lencos
2 Systemdek
1 each of 4 other brands

 

[JumpingBean]

I do most of my spinning on a Pro-ject Carbon, but the 70s direct drive tables are always a joy. I have a Pioneer PL-530, PL-560, and Technics SL-1300. I used to have a PL-255 but I sold it.

 

[interalian]

I have, in order of nothing particular:

VPI TNT MK1 with SME V (9/10)
Yamaha PX-3 (9.5/10)
Mitsubishi LT-30 (9.5/10 cosmetic but needs a belt or cleaning - FF/RW a bit sluggish)
Hitachi HT-860 (8/10 cosmetic but needs some electronic work)

 

[4-2-7]

4 or possibly 5 BIC 960s (thrift store finds)
3 Lencos
2 Systemdek
1 each of 4 other brands

Which Systemdek? The IIX looks like it has the SOTA design.

You look like you love the old tables, but not as old as your avatar

I was born in 61 and it looks like thats your latest table?
