Meitner Museatex AT-2 turntable

They're not very good with thin records.

Many years ago I saw a Meitner turntable for sale at a local audio salon. The design was unusual, too unusual
to purchase at the time. During recent years I recall that table and have wanted to purchase one so I check the Meitner space on Audiogon regularly to see if one is available. I wish you luck in finding one but don't be
surprised to see it already sold if I see it first. I am
happy to see that someone else appreciated that futuristic
geometric look.

If you are referring to the "platterless" turntable, I heard it at the Stereophile show in NYC some years back. I am a big Meitner fan, but this turntable I thought was a disater. There is no way to flatten the record, so there was severe audible pitch instability (wow). Remember, even without a clamp, the mere act of laying an lp on a flat surface (platter), will tend to flatten it to a degree. I remember being surprised that a company such as Meitner would demonstrate something as obviously flawed as this. It did look very cool, 'though.
