Why three motors?

Hey Dan,

There were two links posted by Hiho showing a wooden arm. In the second one (3rd post) the link "Titled TW Acoustic" links to a picture of the table with a DPS on it. The original post has a link to a different picture with an wooden arm on it that was later identified by Hiho.

FYI, I posted two images of the Raven turntable, each with two different tonearms.

1st image with Analog-Tools 12" tonearm and Audiocraft AC-4000 12" tonearm

2nd image with Schroeder DSP 9" tonearm and Dynavector DV-507 9" tonearm

Both turntables have three motors with only one side of the belt touching the platter.

Hiho said - "Even more curious, is that the manufacturer no longer have such configuration. And I have to ask why again. Was it a flop and had to change course again? Are those 3-motor turntable owners still sticking to that belt arrangement? If change, what do you do with the extra motors? "

Where did you get that information from??. The AC is available as a AC-1, AC-2 AC-3 (1,2 or 3 motors) and with the Black Knight motor.
He also orders the battery power supply from the black knight on the AC if you want it. I preferred the standard motor.

Exactly where has TW changed course??

Thanks Dave and Hiho. I was indeed looking at the first picture.

As a recent convert/owner of an AC1 I too am mighty curious and sceptical. There are some A'goners who have traversed the 3 motor route. Would be interesting to hear from them.
Loved the wooden armboard in one of the pics. Can it be ordered?
Cheers
