Technics made a remote control turntable model SL15. It is a linear tracking table with an alloy frame. These were made in the early 80's and were around 800.00 new. Maybe you could find one of these.
Remote control for Turntable?
Hi gang! I love the sound of vinyl but really hate getting up to change the records and especially hate if there is a song on i want to skip and i'm all the way across the room. i get up, lift the arm and put it down on the next track and by the time i get back to my chair, the song is half over! my solution so far has been a diy pulley system rig (email me for blueprint) with a string which i can give a little tug on to move the needle. have had ok results but not very precise results. my girlfriend doesn't like this option and her damn screaming from the other room drives me so nuts i hesitate to skip tracks this way and often wind up reluctantly listening to music i'd really rather not. i have been searching for a turntable with a remote (i assume it'll be ex-spen-sive-O (which is fine) but have had no luck. please advise
