Built like a proverbial tank. Example of a Commonwealth 12/D3 Australian Broadcast Idler drive meticulously restored with our hand crafted bespoke composite, multilayered high mass tuned plinth. We have been continuously fine tuning this legendary turntable design over the course of many years. (Reed 2G tonearm as shown not included, however, the arm may be added as a complete package.) Playback is dynamic, lively, powerful, tremendous air and space, layering superb and bass reminds one of real thunder with depth and great impact. Bespoke plinth will accept any tonearms ranging from 9"-12" effective length. A set of 2/ea. blank matching Panzerholz armboards included. As many music lovers are aware, these tremendously powerful, musical idler drives are highly sought after with clean examples becoming more rare and rare to locate on the open market places, and for good reason, as they are very formidable analog playback machines, period. Our Commonwealth 12D/3 features completely original, painstakingly restored factory components. A refurbished OEM idler wheel rubber periphery running outer surface, combined with the large restored single phase AC induction motor running near silent and at the correct RPM. Each individual component are stripped down to bare parts, ultra sonic deep cleaned, re-lubricated, aligned, reassembled, then tested with main aluminum chassis and platter professionally repainted shown in Grey/Black Hammertone paint. Adjustable Stillpoints Ultra SS isolation footers included (4/ea.). Motor runs at 230v/50Hz which requires dedicated AC power supply, which I can supply separately if required. Please contact Christopher at [email protected] or 219.933.8115 for details. Heavy Duty wooden crate supplied for safe worldwide transit.
