VintageTurntableRestoration TTBD1L

We are new at Audiogon but we have been restoring and reparing tt's for many years now.
We have spent many hours perfecting this turntable and we hope you like it.
Sonically the tt rivals the very famous Garrard 301 and Thorens 124, no doubt. It is, in our opinion a work of art as well.
More pictures available upon request.

Platter: The platter is a 1.25 inch thick solid copper. Improves drammatically frequencies and reduces unwanted vibrations.

Sub Platter: The sub platter is a 1inch clear high density acrylic disc. The Platter spins on a solid stainless steel spindle and a ceramic ball bearing. The spindle and housing is a perfect reproduction of the famous Thorens 124 assembly. We did improve it by installing a bronze retaining plate.
