Personal Turntable Evolution

They have this "evolution" thread for Amplifiers and for Speakers, I think it would be interesting to find out what Turntables everyone has owned in their audio journey.

For me, its:
1. Dual 1225
2. Bang & Olufsen RX w/MMC5 cartridge
3. Denon DP59L
4. Rega Planar 3 with Accutex MM cartridge
5. Kenwood KD-5070 w/Audio Technica cartridge
6. Harman Kardon T45 w/Ortofon OA-30 cartridge

I tend to keep TT's for a long time compared to amps and speakers and currently own both 5 & 6. I had my Rega for over 20 years and don't see ever going back to a fully manual turntable - just too lazy. Look forward to seeing your comments. Thanks

2.  AR Inc. - The disappointing replacement for the Weathers.  1969 -1970

3.  Dual 1219 - 1970 - 1972

4.  Thorens TD 125 MKII - 1972-1978, Two arms Rabco SL-8E and SME

5.  Mitsubishi EC2 1978-1986 (actually still going strong given to a starving student)

6l. VPI HW 19III 1986 and still with me, two arms SME III and SMEII

7.  Technics SL1200 MKII - 2005-201?
