Attention Audio Veterans

ya, joe b is right - yer tinkin' about the b&o. the maplenoll is the only one worth listening to, tho - imho. there's currently one being auctioned on ebay - *someone* will get themselves a *really* nice 'table. doug

The turntable you are thinking of is the Phase Linear 8000. I used to own one before buying my VPI. It was a very large, but sleek looking turntable. The dustcover had a low sloping look to it. I sold mine to a friend. I think he still has it.

Slowhand: mellow

The Mitsubishi LT-5V (?) was a somewhat "futuristic" linear tracking turntable that stood up vertically. I think the same design may have been marketed under a different brand. At the same time, Mitsubishi also sold a slightly beefier version with faux mahogony base. It did not stand up, however. Could this be what you are trying to remember?

...this was definitely 1980-1981. It was my junior and senior year in high school and I worked part time and summers as an audio dealer and carried the line.....all "veteran" trivia questions welcomed!!
