The Transcriptor Skeleton Turntable and Vestigal Tonearm Project

     2019 August 12

     If you can have car porn, then I can have hifi porn. It's truly a work of art, a milestone in hifi functional beauty. I got it on eBay in pieces, poorly enough packed that several parts went missing through holes in the box.

     It has only one channel working, the glass dust cover still has parts missing, it's not aligned, the black thread is too short, but here it is.

     This is the first time I've seen either this turntable or this tonearm play a record, separately or together. Wow! My own LOCI Tonearm was inspired by seeing the Vestigal in a box at Music and Sound Limited in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, in 1975 or 1976.
