I still have my Dual 1019 I bought in the 1960's.I must have 6 Dual TT's.It's really neat to watch my old 1019 cycle a rack of 45's with the fat 45 spindle.Remember how record companies labeled the record sides to work with a changer?I just pulled My Perpetuum Ebner out and put some run time on it along with my Duals' in this horrible PA winter.Great German craftsmanship of the day.
Idler drive turntables
One sees all sorts of data re Garrard 301/401, Thorens TD 124, and Lenco turntables of the 60's and 70's. These TT's if restored bring lots of $ on the used market! What about the Benjamin Miracords of the same era? My first "serious" hifi system in 1970 consisted of a Miracord 50H with a Shure M91E cartridge, a Fisher 600 receiver and KLH 4 speakers. Sometimes, even now, and thousands of dollars more, I yearn for the sound of that system! Just how does the Miracord stand up to those icons??
