Description

This item will not come with a lid cover.   Item only tested for posting up. (Yes it does) Found at my local good Will Overall good condition This is the original AR turntable. (See AR History for more specific background on its development.) It had a two-piece aluminum platter which was driven by a small synchronous motor. Early versions had two motors to add the extra torque needed to start the heavy platter. A spring-suspended subchassis supported the platter and tonearm. The tonearm had manual adjustments for weight, no real anti-skating, and damped cueing which prevented accidentally dropping needle to the record surface. The tonearm was S-shaped with a single pivot point. The table was extremely quiet and immune to rumble. Early models used solid walnut sides, then they became walnut veneer, and finally walnut looking vinyl veneer.
