How Many Turntables Have You Owned

I CURRENTLY OWN 5 TECHNICS OF VARIOUS MODELS. MY FIRST BETTER TURNTABLE BEFORE THE TECHNICS WAS A GARRARD, MODEL SL 40 I THINK. A PRETTY GOOD TURNTABLE, WAS BOUGHT CHEAP IN 1978 BUT WORKED WELL. MY FIRST TECHNICS WAS BOUGHT FOR $250 IN 1979 AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IT STILL WORKS BUT THERE IS HUM FROM THE RIGHT AND LEFT CHANNEL CORDS AND NEEDS FIXING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TECHNICS TO ANYONE. THERE IS VERY PRICEY STUFF OUT THERE THAT I REALLY CAN'T IDENTIFY WITH BUT TECHNICS IS VERY GOOD "MID LEVEL" TURNTABLES AND LAST A LONG TIME.

Hey Kemosabe, ("Trusty scout.")

The Lone Ranger says "Your caps locks are on."

4 in 30 years:
A Sony direct drive PS 515 in 1978(still working !).
Project Debut bought in 2001.
Clearaudio Emotion - 2002 ( the vinyl bug was starting to bite).
Michell Gyro - 2007. In 16 months this has been upgraded from a Gyro SE all the way to an Orbe.
Cheers

Great thread, String!

1974-present; Pioneer PL 12-D
Sony PS X-7 DD; (bought on 'Gon last year. It's circa 1976 and it's in my "vintage" system).

My first I think was a Close and Play.
Since I have been into HiEnd.

How things change.
