How many turntables have you owned?


My analog journey started in the 70's- I'm on my 6th turntable, which I have owned since 1998. I think it's my final turntable!

I'm poor, I have 9 children to feed and 34 grandchildren. I have no turntable, please make checks payable to "The old man in the shoe" Would you throw in a Rolls with a chauffeur. 12 car seats too if you don't mind..

Ok I fibbed, I have a collection of Zero 100s. They work perfect, they sound like Zero 100s too. That is one bad sounding TT. In custom plinths though. :-) I'm not kidding I bought one for 15.00 it had a MC Grado cart that was worth 600.00. I still have that cart. I have a TD224 that I had working perfect too. Looked new.. I like the weird ones.

TD124 & SME 12" #1

TD2030 & SME IV #2..

TD121-124s and Russco are a ton of fun.. at least a couple dozen.

HUGE! I made that plinth out of 1" red oak stair flats. 35.00 usd. I'm frugal. I paid 400.00 for 5 Russco. This is one of that 5. FM station pulls in the Bakersfield area in the late 90s

Well why would you invent something your not going to use? Kinda like the happy guy above, makes you wonder about natures jokes anyways.. LOL

Sure they made a MC carts. They just haven’t made one sense (since) the 60’s, Like I said a guy in Elk Grove CA repaired all the FM station stuff including his hand made carts. He was a Grado guy. The machine shop for Russco was in Antioch. Marchio’s Machine and Iron. I worked there. Just a tidbit..

I was at a guys storage in El Sobrante he was way up there too, over 1000sf of racks and TT. He had a Fairchild 750 with 12 & 16" platers I sure would have liked.
