Nakamichi TX-1000

tx-1000-h.jpg

tx-1000-mainframe.jpgWithout any doubt the TX-1000 was one of the most innovative turntables ever built. To compensate for not centrically made LPs it was possible to adjust the complete motor-bearing-platter assembly to the absolute center for every record. Made from heavy aluminium the TX-1000 didn't suffer from resonances. Below you see pictures of the platter-bearing assembly, the motor and its insulators. tx-1000-platter.jpg tx-1000-motor.jpg tx-1000-insulator.jpgThis model is very much sought after here in Europe commanmding prices at around 5000,- Dollars - if you're able to grab one. There actually were a lot of decks around of them in the 80s but it seems that if someone has one he usually won't sell it...


Nakamichi Dragon

This turntable completed the famous Dragon-Line of Nakamichi. Build-quality, design and mechanical engineering from another universe. Seldom seen it commands high prices too.

La Linn Sondek LP12 se ha estado vendiendo desde prncipios de los setentas ininterrumpidamente con muchas mejoras en el camino, especialmente en la fuente de poder. Me gusta también, pero yo llamo legendaria probablemente a la Ariston XA (1961) que es la primera con chasis suspendido y probablemente a la Thorens TD150 (1965) que mejoró lo que ya era bueno de este sistema de desacople, siendo la TD125 (1968) la máxima exprersión en la época. Así las cosas, se desarrolla la Ariston RD11 (1971) que es "casi" una Linn Sondek, tanto que hubo disputa de patentes.

hola Héctor,

Hay varias versiones:

In 1972, the late Jack Yan Tiefenbrun filed a pair of provisional patent specifications for a simple point-contact bearing, and followed them up in June 1973 with a complete specification claiming 'improvements in, or relating to, gramophone record playing apparatus'. The application was accepted by the British Patent Office and published as BP1394611.

In May of 1975, following the publication of the Tiefenbrun patent, an opposition was lodged by turntable manufacturer Fergus Fons Ltd and the late William James 'Hamish' Robertson. Fons, nee Robertson, opposed the patent on various grounds, including that 'what was being claimed as new, was in fact old', and that the idea was 'lacking in inventive step' over what was already known. A further ground of opposition was that the invention had been 'obtained' from Hamish Robertson, and was his original idea rather than that of Jack Tiefenbrun.

Jack Tiefenbrun had formed Castle Precision Engineering (Glasgow) Ltd some 15 years earlier. Hamish Robertson had a company called Thermac in 1967, which became Ariston in 1970, and Ariston Audio in 1973. In 1970 Jack's son Ivor formed a friendship with Hamish. In 1971 Ivor made a prototype turntable with a ball bearing, and then went off to Israel. While Ivor was away, Jack and Hamish changed the ball bearing to a single point bearing. Robertson's company Thermac then ordered forty of the turntables from Castle Precision Engineering Ltd. In 1971, and now operating as Ariston, Hamish showed the turntable under the model name RD11 at the Harrogate show, and set up a distribution network with C. J. Walker and Company.

By the end of 1972 relations between Robertson and the Tiefenbruns had broken down. This allegedly led to a threat to Robertson that a copyright action would be brought against him if he had the RD11 turntable made elsewhere than at Castle Precision Engineering.

In February of 1973 Linn Products Ltd was formed to sell turntables made by Castle Precision Engineering. Robertson left Ariston, which by now had been taken over by Dunlop Westayr Ltd, and became director of Fergus Fons Ltd.

In the end, the Fons, nee Robertson opposition to the Tiefenbrun patent was rejected.

Bien chori la consola, futuristica, sobria y compacta, en los 60's hubiera sido una piedra en el zapato.

space-age-record-players-stereos

Extra-terrestrial turntables.

When the Space Age blasted off with Sputnik 1 in 1957, pop culture desperately followed the smoke. The obsession with space travel left a sleekly futuristic print on everything, simultaneously stimulating and exploiting society’s enthusiasm for technology and future.


The worlds of art, fashion, design, architecture were all struck by Space Age design. By the time Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, Googie architecture had transformed diners, bowling alleys and airports while comics and kids TV shows like The Jetsons launched a sci-fi revolution.

The space race translated to interiors, as global designers competed to create ultramodern furnishings. Plastic chairs took on strange, horizontal rocket-shaped formations, television sets swivelled and capsules were everywhere.

The aesthetic shaped stereos, radios and turntables, which, housed in pods and globes, became living room centre pieces, the epitome of Space Age cool. From stereo ‘eggs’ to spaceship jukeboxes, we’ve collected some of the most visually striking designs from the era.

Weltron 2005 / 2007

The two iterations of GEC’s Weltron “spaceship” turntable were inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Available in two colours, lift the visor and you’ll find a turntable, cassette deck, AM/FM radio, and built-in speakers.

Clairtone Project G

Produced in Canada between 1964 and 1967, only 400 of the original Clairtone’s were made, retailing at roughly $20,000 (in today’s terms). Endorsed by Frank Sinatra, Hugh Hefner and Oscar Peterson, it also made its way onto sets of films like The Graduate. A real high-end record player console, co-founder Peter Munk once quipped that, “The prime minister had one and if the local truck driver didn’t have one, he wanted one.”

Wega 3300

Designed by Dane Verner Panton in 1963, the Wega 3300 Hifi Stereophonic system is a real classic. Containing a radio in the top half and a record player in the base it was a Bauhaus meets pop art phenomenon, appearing in both classic white or orange colours.

Wega 3213

Another entry from the pioneering German audio company, the Wega 3212 and 3213 took the design of the dice-like 3300 and unpacked it into a console, Dual turntable on the left, radio on the right. Internal speakers included although external ones always recommended.

Electrohome Apollo 711

The Apollo missions were drawing to a close when home hifi brand Electrohome unveiled their own Apollo series in 1970, with three-speed turntables and a choice of radio transmitters.

Electrohome Circa 75

Intended to be a “communications nerve centre for the future” the Electrohome Circa 75 was one hell of a prototype, a flagship design made with only the most futuristic materials available. As well as the massive circular pod, the system was hooked up to a wall-screen TV and cockpit arm chair with control buttons in the armrests and speakers in the wings.

Rosita Stereo Commander

Like it’s just been plucked straight out of the Starship Enterprise, the Stereo Commander was another German endeavour, complete with futuristic chassis and electronic EQ display.

Sanyo Phonosphere

The Japanese Sanyo Phonosphere is the archetype space helmet-meets-R2D2 turntable. A sphere that pivots like a globe, the Sanyo also included a light that glints off a faceted mirror-ball on the spindle, creating a glittering “ballroom” effect.

Brionvega RR126

David Bowie’s player of choice, this stereo “radiophonograph” is a classic piece of ‘60s Italian design by architects Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni. It has a modular structure so the speakers can be stacked in a cube, arranged horizontally or a some combination of the two. Each one was handmade so no two units are exactly the same.

PAAM Tube Turntable Stereo Console

Aeronautics-trained French designer Yonel Lebovici channeled his signature, playful, curvilinear design style into a console for the Paam Tube. Its cylindrical form and acrylic elements make it an iconic slice of post-war French design.

Chantal-Meteor 200

A vinyl jukebox for the most cosmic of occasions, the Chantal-Meteor was designed by Jean Foufounais and Andre Deviaz and named after Jean’s wife Chantal. The first iteration, launched in 1954, features 120 selections with the 60 discs arranged in two rows. The jukebox was then re-booted as the Chantal-Meteor 200, installed with a new “revolving doughnut” mechanism for a larger selection, but after only five years of production the Chantal Meteor factory was destroyed by fire.

This brilliant ’70s product ran with the tagline “stereo lays an egg” and combined the era’s iconic pod chair with an in=built stereo system for the ultimate experiment in Space Age interiors.
