They were probably the most striking table ever made. Russ Beardsley at Harmony House in NYC told me around 1970 that he had sold 11 the first weekend he had them just by putting them in the window and turning them on. Did have problems as outlined above. Never had one, although I was a dealer for Michell, which was in some ways a continuation of and improvement on the Transcriptors. I purchased a Vestigial arm but was so horrified at its flimsy appearance I sold it without taking it out of its box. Buy either one as an object of art, not as a working table.
