What's wrong with this picture?

Balto CL ad

 

[cubby01]

Oh, come on.... you know that's there just to give an indication of size

LOL "never used on the road" LOL

The penny to comp for a snotball on the stylus?

 

[Big Bill]

Ive heard of people taping pennies to headshells in order to "increase" the mass.

 

[hakaplan]

The date on the penny is inconsistent with the time period when the tt was manufactured.

 

[thedelihaus]

There's no beers in the picture

 

[thedelihaus]

Oh- and the table is on top of a receiver.

 

[thedelihaus]

Just my 0.01$ worth....

45 adapter is missing and theres a penny on the headshell. and...the strobe is out?

 

[Nat]

Strobe is fine -- its pinky/ orange on the left. But under the penny is a Pioneer headshell. Whether that's wrong depends on your perspective.
(But look out for the anti Technics Basher thread, who will smite you.)

I dont see anything wrong..Thats a good idea.. every time you pick up youre arm you willl have good luck all day long.

 

[carbonman]

Shouldn't you use a Japanese coin on a Japanese turntable?

 

[thedelihaus]

The curtains. Those curtains are all wrong....

The curtains. Those curtains are all wrong....

lol

I had to go searching balto craigslist to see more. And I found a nice free Sony. Somebody should pick it up:

[danj]

the record is being played at 333 1/3 rpm?

And, yes, the curtains are all wrong.

Why have a 1-toggle switch and 2-toggle switch a foot apart on the wall, when you can have one 3-toggle switch? And the cables are hanging on the wall, rather than connected to audio equipment.

 

[the_nines]

Tools (screwdrivers) ON the wall ?

 

[ChairSpud]

Your pic says a 1200mkII, but that model should not have LEDs on the pitch control.

Oops, after a second look I see now there are no LEDs! Okay, I see the obvious penny and non-Technics head shell and is it my imagination, the cartridge appears to be riding directly on the LP.

 

[rito25]

The light switches don't match.

 

[dread31]

Other than the general slovenly mess of that pigsty of a room, the hideous curtains, the lightswitches, the stacking of a TT on top of a tuner, the cheap 1970's vintage paneling, and that fu**ing penny on the headshell?

Nothing, looks great. Throw in an ashtray full of "roaches" and '70s vintage beer tabs, and it would look like heaven.
