I saw that a couple of weeks and thought it was utterly ridiculous. Why would you do that?

Never mind how it sounds, I can hear my mum saying "and who's going to dust it?"  |

Still, I'm sure you could use the spindle as a power take-off shaft to power all sorts of handy home gadgets.
I expect Betty and Frank have got one!

Crosleys might be helping record sales but they certainly are not a good thing for sound or disc preservation. Neither is this. Frankly in the long run they will put a lot of people of vinyl.

What stops the headshell from just falling toward the user?
As in off the record?

I assumed downforce, or in this case backforce(!!!) would be applied either with a spring or a magnet somewhere in the bearing housing.

My feeling is, if it was a good idea, there would be a range of manufacturers using it.

Hitachi came up with a vertical LP spinner years ago, but at least that had a tangential tracking arm. I think it would have to be, Barry. That arm could only work if perfectly balanced otherwise it would 'fall off' as it swings towards the centre. |
