I'm sure a lot of you have seen this turntable prototype before. I love this thing. I wish we had made it.

    I like the little kickstand for the dustcover... my first "real" turntable (a Philips GA-308) had one (spring-loaded), as well.

    I was more talking about (EDIT: I never want to think about that again), not the Polkfest pics. Never thought I'd type that out. I didn't mean it too seriously either, I agree with you.

    I don't know who that is to the right of Stu. The guy with his back to the camera is John (Jstas) and I can't remember the name of the guy with the ponytail, but he's not around any longer.

    I admin some design forums... so I'm used to this kind of "humor" :-)

    Speaking of pretty pictures, I had our photographer take some nice studio shots.
