scott0527 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Imagine the joy of setting up this Livingston Binaural stereo arm made for the mid 50's Cook twin groove stereo records. Hard to believe it never caught on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Looks like it might be a high mass arm. [] Nice Garrard 301 underneath it... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmikid Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I thought I'd seen it all! Indeed very cool. How does it sound and what kind of records are records available? [:^)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I saw one of these demonstrated at Parker Music Company in El Dorado, Arkansas c. 1954. It took several tries to get it started because the inner pickup kept skipping a groove. Roy Parker had only the Cook demonstration disk and an obscure Requiem by some group unknown to me. It was fitting, though. Roy was never able to get another recording and in time the equipment disappeared from his shop. DRBILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured someone here had actaully seen on of these before. Interesting that when you saw it, they had a tough time getting it going. I can just imagine the opportunites for error in setting that up as well as pressing the records. Timmikid, that picture was sent to me by a collector who has a lot of really beautiful old turntables. He mentioned there were only 50 different Cook records produced.
