Key Features & Characteristics:

Motor: Uses an AC synchronous motor, often a Haydon, known for stability, though requiring occasional capacitor or bearing maintenance.

Suspension: A suspended sub-chassis design helps isolate the platter and tonearm from vibrations.

Speed: Operates at 33.3 and 45 RPM, meeting broadcast standards for wow, flutter, and rumble.

Platter: A two-piece platter system (inner and outer) with a belt drive, designed for speed stability.

Design: Comes in a walnut veneer finish with a textured black metal top plate, embodying classic 70s audio aesthetics.
