Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions

4 Yanx- Our company, Damoka LLC, specializes in vintage and rare analog along with high end vintage speaker systems. We offer three different 301/401 based systems and one of the plinths that we make will give you the possiblity to mount up to 3 tone arms. There are individual and customised arm bases for many popular arms.

Scheu Premier II comes with a two arm option for about 2 large and shipping included

Haven't pursued the 78 option primarily because of time constraints.

Basically, all I need to do is to feed the controller from a 15 volt battery source and I'd be up and running. The regulator chip can take about 35 volts, so if you had two 12 V batteries in series (for 24 VDC), you'd be happenin'.

The bigger issue I have is whether I consider this type of rig appropriate for 78's. There's only one way to find out, isn't there?

Variable speed - via trim pots ... this was one of the main criteria we had for our controller design. I know too many people who are pitch sensitive and want to be able to correct for mis-mastered recordings.

Jim Hagerman has just submitted a prototype to me of a 3 speed controller. I need to start beta testing it. I consider Jim to be one of the unsung heros of audio.

The intended arrangement is for me to distribute the controller - assembled, tested, and supported by Jim. We're probably 6-8 months from anything final.

Cheers,

What's up with no extra Nott pulley for 78's 4yanx? Ever heard any explanation? Other than needing an exceedingly fast push to get the table to speed?

I gather the Platine is now available with all three speeds. Graham Tricker (www.gtaudio.com) makes a Battery PSU for the Platine. I gather this is now available as a three speed model.
