2-Speed Direct-Drive Turntable from the 1970s
.
____________
Bought this around the 1980s I believe, eventually will locate the receipt. I liked it because it was the one to own and was purchased in a working like new condition, no marks, scuff, scratches, or fingerprints etc. Even back then it was hard to believe one could be found without some wear. Unfortunately it was wrapped up for protection and placed into storage. Never having been played, since I was traveling all the time.
It has an additional new needle stylus from similar era back around the 1970s-'80s. Again, really was the one best liked by many long ago, was the final crown in a technology and era that was passing.

Gave most my records away but still have 2 old cantaloupe crates from the 1970s filled with those I kept … be posting in time too. Just to note, I once sold albums like the beach boys for 15 cents in the '90s, but sure the ones left won’t be so low priced ... and they likely aren’t as valuable as some given away back then.
