Needs work but I think it has some potential.

The arm is a Calrad SV-16, the cart is a swappable 33/78 RPM model, can't think of the model off the top of my head.

It was at an estate sale and I probably did overpay (paid full price the first day and generally things were high). But I like ROKs and needed a 78 player (this was just before finding a pair of TD-124s) or i may have not bought it.

It's a good thing you found the ROK first then. Looks like a coot TT. It seems like ROKs are built like tanks and pretty underrated.

Your kidding about the 124's. Now where is that thread?

I think there is a thread with pics of the first recent TD-124 I found. It turned out to be a bit of a basketcase and certainly not worth what I paid either. Luckily, I ran across another which looks like it will be significantly nicer and it's not even missing a bunch of parts like the first one.

If you can get one good one out of the two I think you will really like the 124.
 
These old tables sure look Vintage, but I hope youre not playing your valuable records on them.

Those heavy, inflexible arms will just ruin your discs, pure and simple. Any tracking force over 3 grams is damaging to a record groove.

For years I had an old Garrard Type A that tracked at 3-6 grams. Today, on many of the records that i played on that monster, I can plainly hear the damage to the grooves. And this was with a cart and stylus designed for the extra weight , The Shure M7.

Enjoy the old tables, but only play your junk records on them!
