A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong!

Way before my time but an interesting take on a classic table!

The bearing and arm are mounted on a plate that is attached to the plinth. It looks like the bearing goes into the plinth but really it is just a hole, the bearing does not touch the plinth at all. The Sovereign has a lot more going on, but in this main design principle is exactly the same as the AR. I had no idea it went back that far. Thanks!

The concept of things getting out of the way is optimistic . Everything has some effect. Having not built a turntable with that arm bearing plate combo I really have no opinion or first hand listening exposure. It will be nice when Millercarbon does a review if he compares his rim drive teres with his new table and actually talks about tone, attack/decay, pitch, body etc... Enjoy the ride Tom
