    I think only two protos were made. Not likely to find either one at dump prices.

    So glad someone else took some pics of it. All the picks I took at HQ are gone :frown:

    Carl, Ed and I were checking that out too. I got some phone pics and Carl took some with his camera. Nice machined Grace G704 oil damped arm on it. Ed wanted it to add to his hundreds of turntables collection.:cheesygrin:

    Stu did a nice job on the feet and connecting rods.

    Beautiful! No doubt in my mind that Polk could easily sell a few of those. Was this developed from the ground up or did they modify

    another company's tt like Atma-Sphere does?
