Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions

I can't think of any that also meet the 78 rpm request right out of the box.

If the 78 rpm requirement is dropped, here are the following turntables that handled at least two tonearms that I know of:

1. The Teres 340-2 has a special base to install two tonearms.

3. The Micro Seiki DQ-1000 and DQX-1000 (both discontinued) were designed to accommodate as many as three tonearms. There may be other Micro-Seiki models that I am forgetting about.

4. The Denon DP-series (1000 through 6000, all discontinued) I believe were purchasable as a core drive assembly. You then made your own plinth + armboards to do the job. I've seen several of these on Ebay that had two armboards already set-up.

It should be possible to modify one of the VPI turntables to accommodate two tonearms. There is a 78 RPM option on the Aries 2 series, Scout, Scoutmaster, and the TNT-series. I didn't find a 78 RPM option for the HW-series (probably not a good idea on a suspended turntable).

Nottingham tables are often setup with two arms. The second arm pod is an option for about an extra $500, and I believe this is available on most of their models. See it many times on the Spacedeck. Cheers,

Spencer, as you know, I've done several times on a Spacedeck. However, no 78 rpm! :-)

Dmenagh, are you lcked into a NEW table? Handy? Checkout the Lenco thread ("Home Despot") below for another possibility.

Don't write off the Teres. Chris has stated that you could get the motor controller wired for 78. The problem is as far as I know, you can only get two speeds out of one motor. Of course, the Teres does not offer pitch control, because one of it's (the Teres) features is dead-nuts speed control.

Acoustic Solid
Acoustic Signature
Redpoint
Galibier

and many others offer 2-3 tonearm setups and pitch control.

The 78 RPM feature may be harder, but not impossible, to get. You just need someone to alter one of the DC speed controllers for the above TTs to handle 78 as well as 33 and 45.
