Wrongo... This was NOT the table in CO. This table is a Skeleton and is listed wrong by the auction company. Good to know they understand what they are selling. It was a Hydraulic in CO. $1,250... decent price depending on the cartridge.

Was the idea behind the design that with minimal contact points
to the LP less noise / vibration would be transferred to to the
LP and therefor the stylus?

If the concept worked why wasnt it imitated by others more so?

Im not asking / saying this as some critique. Genuinely wondering?

I remember seeing this brand in the magazines probably around 1980. Visually striking, to be sure. I hope it finds a good home!
