Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's


This is for the dealers and people that remember what turntables were selling back in the golden years of the 60's and early 70's (what would you see at a dealer playing along with a McIntosh C22,and 275 amp ?)

I know there was the Garrard 301,401 but what else was the table to have back then.

Thanks

Rabco belt-drive linear-tracking tonearm, either the Rabco or Harman-Kardon version
Marantz SLT-12 linear tracker

For home use, Garrard SL-95B (with teak insert on tonearm for damping), or Zero-100 with pivoting headshell for "zero" tracking angle distortion.

The Thorens 'tables of the day (not sure of model numbers)

AR suspended belt drive (spiritual ancestor to the Linns)

Along with the Garrard 301/401 pro line, the Rek-o-Kuts were highly regarded for pro use.

And of course there was the Technics SL-10 and all that followed.

Next, we'll be talking about Weathers cartridges.

Mikro Seiki. Definitely at or near the top of badass LP rigs. Especially if fitted with two tonearms.
