A Copernican View of the Turntable System

The galleon captain says to his slave crew, "I have good news and I have bad news."

"What's the good news?" they cried.

He said, "We're going to Jamaica." The response was wild cheering.

Then one of the crew ask, "So what's the bad news?"

The captain replied, "We'll have Buddy Rich beating time."

Hey, German or not, a little humor shouldn't hurt.

Pretty funny!

OK. Here's the other one that my friend Rosina told me on the same day.

The Captain says to the crew, "I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that you guys are going to get a change of underwear.
(Big cheer goes up.)

The bad news is: Jose', you change with Pedro. Pedro, you change with Ramon..."

The galleon slave was generally chained to his oar until he died of starvation, physical exertion, etc. Then they would install another to take his place. None of these guys would think of mounting his tonearm on one galleon and his turntable on another. (So this is not OT.)

OK we have a time window for the Apolyt. What about Raul' s tonearm?
Does it appear in 2011? or do we have to wait until all jokes regarding the gallion are told...

Thucan,

I think Raul has just posted something about his arm on the MM/MC thread. I know that it is aesthetically pleasing but if its performance matches its beauty, we might be in for something very special.
