Post a picture of your turntable

Hi Tripod,
Thanks for the pics of your TPA-12 - never seen close-ups before. It certainly appears better suited for 78 play than mine. And I take that is excactly what it is doing in your pics?
Is the second arm a Jelco?
And lastly, I also second Totem's question.

Post a Picture...

Hello Totem
@Mario

The TPA12 is intended for 78rpm's and that's what it is playing in the pics.

Putting the 301 on 4 'stilts' looks terrible but I often have to move it for demo's or 'open' days at my engineering society. Running it without a plinth obviously imparts zero colouration and that's the other reason why I'll keep it like this for now.

The other arm is a Linn Basik LV V, most probably made by Jelco for Linn. The arm I usually have on this 'table is a Grace G-727 Gyro Master and this wil also soon go back on. I changed to the Linn as I didn't want to risk damage to the Grace during a recent 'do' which was open to the general public.

Cheers

Technics SL-MA1. This will have a new owner this weekend, but I'd thought I'd post it for posterity.

Howard, another beautiful table. You have a real nack for coming up with nice automatic tables.
 
Joyce,
Can we expect to see you sailing up the West Branch of the River Rouge for AK Fest? I'll definately have my camera out for that.

Now that sounds like it could be fun. My SO and I have thought about traveling the Erie Canal system some day...but we'll probably have to have a little more fun sailing this coast before taking off that far...
 
Hi All

Here's one of my 301's. It's almost 16 years ago since I made the acrylic plinth. The turntable is completely decoupled from the acrylic by means of butyl pads above and below inside the feet.

Underneath the plinth, is a clean powersupply which also provide current for the 'strobe on a stalk' at the left and the solenoid-switched mono 'on the button'.

Some of the Garrard's levers underneath act as activating controls and all the bits for these are fastened with doublesided tape so there's no damage, should these be removed.

The arm is a bastardised Micro, fitted with a curved magnesium wand and fitted with an sme type socket for rapid h/shell changes. The wand originally was part of the landing gear from an r/c helicopter...

are you by chance related to an "Angus MacGyver"?:music:
 
Hi Lady Ayeka

Yes, I am (on my mother's side). The family was originally infamous as horse thieves and had to flee the old country.

Looks real nice. One of my clients has one of those essentially collecting dust. I have been thinking about asking him if he would like to sell it.

actually, i was referring to the 1985/1991 TV series "MacGyver" where the man implied in the title is a special agent with a sky-high IQ that gets himself out of trouble every episode by fabricating things on the fly from whatever he may find around him at the moment. naturally, he has his ever present, trademark swiss army knife...
