Realistic BSR ???

Anyone know anything about these? I don’t see any numbers, it just says bsr. Guy is asking 75.

That's pushing it for that model. It's from the BSR Quanta series, 720 maybe? Unless you are able to test it and be sure it's working well I'd probably wait for something better to come along.

That's a Realistic LAB-110, circa 1978:

It's better than average for a BSR, with a magnetic ADC cartridge claimed to track as light as 1.5 grams, but still pretty low-end (rumbly idler-wheel drive, no anti-skating adjustment).

That is pricey for that. Also the pic makes it hard to see what they have for spindles. There is one very late BSR that used an inverted spindle point set up - think a Pioneer upside down approach - that actually got rid of a lot of rumble, but kept parts of the auto set up even though it only had arm return. It has that arm but I do not think that is it, and I would not pay that much for one. Too much $$ for it .
