[78-L] New Cheap Turntable

[Malcolm Rockwell]

When transferring 78s the preamp may be a problem if it uses a 33rpm 
RIAA equalization curve, and it most probably does. The blurb does say 
the preamp can be bypassed.
I also see no information about stylus radius, but they mention it has 
an ATP-2 cartridge in a replaceable headshell. So you can get an empty 
shell and mount your own cartridge/stylus for 78rmp play. Can the 
skating and a tracking weight be changed... lessee... yes!
I use an older AT tonearm on my Technics SP-15 table and it has all the 
features mentioned, except for the lifter. The headshell should be standard.
The AT-PL 120 table looks good. Cost? Amazon has them at $299.99.
Hell, I'm impressed! I'll probably get one when my SP-15's speed control 
finally gives up (like my last one did - it's an inherent problem).
