Wow, that's some amazing engineering for the day.
Sort of reminds me of the 2nd turn table I owned, the ADC Accutrac Plus 6. That what a pricey piece as an 18 year old. Think I paid nearly $400 for it. Very cutting edge for the early 80's.
"Cutting edge", but only because it had the silver, flying killer ball from Phantasm. As a turntable and especially WRT the cartridge, it wasn't great. If the sensor failed, it was just a mediocre turntable.
We called it 'Accujack'. How was the sound, compared with other turntables?
Am I being blunt? Yes. Are we critical of other AV equipment when sound/video quality are sacrificed for bells and whistles? Absolutely.
