[78-L] Laser turntable

[Kristjan Saag]

Here is what Brad Key wrote on the list in 2005, and  he was not the 
only one who reported poor performance by ELP with 78's.

In 2001, I attended a demonstration of the ELP Laser Turntable
and in two words, it sucked.  It wouldn't play an Edison Diamond Disc, an
aluminum disc, a Berliner disc, or a cracked record.  You couldn't adjust it for
off-center records.  The 78s that it could play sounded lousy.  Three thumbs
down for this ill-conceived contraption
