Audio / Audio Engineering Magazine Subject Index May 1947 through December 1999 Click year from the following list to go to the necessary page. I have driven automatic all my life. I want to learn stick. My friend allowed me to drive his manual car a few times, but it is not constant practice. I am progressing very slowly. So I plan on getting a cheap manual car just to learn the stick. I will buy a better car later if I decide that I really enjoy manual everyday driving.
(1977) Automatic Record Player / Changer Description
Includes original single play LP spindle only. This is a record stacking / changing turntable but I do not have that spindle.
New output cables, every moving part oiled and / or greased.
High quality IDLER DRIVE turntable made in West Germany in the 60's & 70's sold through Radio Shack. It was their highest offering at the time.
Sounds absolutely fantastic.
Original Realistic R47XT cartridge with a NEW beautifully playing SHURE 5X stylus installed.
The custom base is made from 3/4' thick cabinet grade plywood covered in black 'elephant skin' tolex, like a vintage guitar amplifier.
Original Realistic badge on the front. 4 Brushed aluminum feet are from a Micro Seiki turntable.
No dust cover but the base is made to the exact specs of the original ELAC / Realistic bases for many of the 40 series turntables and they do come up for sale.
The tonearm and spindle bearings have been lubricated as have all the mechanical / moving parts above and below the plinth. New foam installed in the isolation springs.
The idler is original and the platter on this player is 5.5 lbs! I often have to use my finger to nudge and get the platter started but after that it plays fine. A new idler may be needed soon, maybe not.
This is a very nice heavy solid built player.
