Idler drive turntables


One sees all sorts of data re Garrard 301/401, Thorens TD 124, and Lenco turntables of the 60's and 70's. These TT's if restored bring lots of $ on the used market! What about the Benjamin Miracords of the same era? My first "serious" hifi system in 1970 consisted of a Miracord 50H with a Shure M91E cartridge, a Fisher 600 receiver and KLH 4 speakers. Sometimes, even now, and thousands of dollars more, I yearn for the sound of that system! Just how does the Miracord stand up to those icons??

A Benjamin Miracord 50H brought me back to vinyl after a 35 year affair with the CD player. So to say it holds a special place in my heart and mind is an understatement. It allowed me to hear and feel the emotion in my music that was all to lacking with CD's.
Jejaudio: Very gratifying response; I'm so glad at least one other person appreciates the Miracord line of turntables from the 60's and 70's!
I still have my Dual 1019 I bought in the 1960's.I must have 6 Dual TT's.It's really neat to watch my old 1019 cycle a rack of 45's with the fat 45 spindle.Remember how record companies labeled the record sides to work with a changer?I just pulled My Perpetuum Ebner out and put some run time on it along with my Duals' in this horrible PA winter.Great German craftsmanship of the day.
