Post your Turntable here


Found my version (actually clean without grafitti scratches all over it at my house)
Technics SL-D2

oh and what's anti-skating mean?

paisleypark4 said:

anti-skating devices control the lateral force of the needle. Too much lateral force and the needle will bow to one side, too little and it bows to the other. Anti-skating should be set so the needle is dead-center when it sits in the groove. Otherwise, the needle tends to rise out of the groove and cause skipping.

I think it needs to be set to match the amount of weight applied to the stilus, as set by the counterweight at the opposite end of the tonearm.

I have the Technic 1200s MK3
only thing new it has is the reset button

Just a cheap Sony, but the needle is broken and I haven't had the time to pick up another one.

Turntable #1.....



...and Turntable #2.....

It's the machine they use to play the "big black CDs".

I bought this and the same thing happened. My family had an emerson stereo/record player which lasted for 28 years.

I have this one hooked up to my stereo receiver:




And this one in my bedroom (coincidentally, it's the one ET phone home with ):

I love it! I had a different Sears portable model as a kid (blue pin stripes), but this one's great. I do most of my record listening to that, because it's in my room and that's where the music listenin' happens.

I have this but with a carbon toner arm.

Damn, no you all have me lusting for a new turntable!!

My very first record player was similar to this:



Except mine was a Snoopy record player and my sister had a Raggedy Ann one just like it.

My mother used to have something similar to this:





This one's much older than her's was but you get the picture.
