    I can honestly say I have never seen a tt look like that ever. He doesn't know what to charge for the thing he's taking offers. Interesting for sure.

    amstrad-tp12-vintage-turntable-5_zps39433def.jpg

    That's an Amstrad TP-120. A funky version of Rega's Planet. IIRC it sported an Acos arm. Two speed, 33 and 45.

    Add an image... IIRC the Planet used a Colton arm.

    Cool aesthetically speaking, but doubt it would be a good performer.

    I am glad someone recognized it. I was thinking it looked like a home brew.

    equiponderous ????

    ~ 1972

    "The TP12D record deck became the latest new area for Amstrad. Its unique ‘tri-lateral equiponderous turntable’ meant that record warps were absorbed above and below the optimum horizontal tracking point. The TP12D was a turntable for the hi-fi connoisseur – even its drive belt was hand crafted from the finest silicon rubber."
