maxg Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yes - it is a working Cd player apparently . Ignore the arm - it is read from below - see the pictures following on from that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Amazing...............Wonder why they never replaced the cartridge with a laser on a turntable to play records ? Guess maybe it can't be done..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not go there - oh what a tale of woe that one was. Actually it could work quite well at times (and with an engineer on stand-by) - but the original company that made it went belly up, then the one that took it over and as far as I know the third one is in trouble. Essentially my guess would be it needs about another $million in R&D and they aint got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 One of the problems with the laser turntable was that it read dirt or scratches as signal, being unable to sort of plow through it like a stylus might, so LPs had to be in top shape and really scrupulously clean.

Plus, a pretty stiff price tag..................Leaves me out of the picture............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
