Now if this isn't eye candy, I don't know what is!

---I truly luv this thread, thx in big part to Myles and Rob; it contains an "excellent" compilation of some of the most exuberant and 'out-of-this-world looking' turntables. I'm just in awe each time I visit it and that I go back to look at them.

But not only that, it inspires me too, and big time! ...Deep down in my heart I want to replunge on my previous & precious analog treasures since my very young tender age, and beyond.
...But with the latest futuristic approach. Do you know what I mean?

...Almost like when you're planning for a bank robbery, and nothing can interfere in your path! :eek:;)

Hi Myles,

Who makes that TT with the Ikeda arm and cart on it? The design of the arm boards is pretty trick. Looks like they can accommodate most arms and still be very rigid.

Sperling turntable from Germany.
 
Daniel Leland Cooley invented the first turntable as we know it today in the 1930's. At least according to Wiki answers. No mention of an exact date or country of origin.
 
I didn't know where to put this picture, so I thought I would leave it here.

This is Mark Doehmann, designer of the Continuum Caliburn turntable and Cobra arm. He is holding a prototype for his next TT arm :) (Don't tell him I posted this ... he will kill me!!)
 
Interestingly magnetic tape was invented in 1928 by Fritz Pfleumer in Germany. It was largely kept a secret from the rest of the world until after WWII due to technological advantage.

That's a joke right? Is that an Amish woman's arm on the right side of that picture?
 
Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. In the USA of course. He used wax cylinders though.

Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville invented the earliest known sound recording device, the phonautograph in 1857. In France, of course. He used paper, wood or glass surface covered in lampblack.
