My former KD-500 is still in use at a friend's, w/ a ADC LMF arm and an aging Blue Point. The -750, AFAIK, came w/ the arm.
The base - showing early research in resonance control - was a mixture of crushed limestone and resin.
The strobe cuts on the platter edge are unkind to knuckles and vinyl. I don't recall any means of adjusting the speed.
I don't recall any info on the stock arm...I went through (3) ADC LMF arms. The arm mounting board was plywood. I have no recollection of rosewood on both these models.
The platter was metal w/o any damping on the underside.
Very reliable, still nice-looking, but as a first TT - unless it were free or nearly so, I'd look at a Pro-Ject or Music Hall.
The 500 I had replaced a Benjamin Miracord 50H.
