Re: [ARSCLIST] new 78 turntables?

[Audio101 <audio101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The SP-15 does a wonderful job of transcribing 16" disc's when mounted
on a custom base using a SME 3012 arm.

 The Sp-15 is built MUCH better then any of the newer DJ type
turntables. I offer complete rebuild services for the Sp-15's as well,
plus I offer many upgrade and custom parts. You can find me at
www.overkillaudioinc.com

 There are few decks outside of the 10,000.00 Dollar Simon York
turntables that perform as well as a SP-15 for transcription work of 16"
disc's, in fact I know of no other deck short of several thousand
dollars that will do the job.

 We are currently working on our own 16" platter for the Sp-15's and we
currently have removable spindle kits in stock.


 Please let me know if we can be of any service, or if you are dead set
on purchasing new turntables, I would be interested in buying your old
SP-15's.


Thanks

Kia Ora and greetings to all,

We need to replace our ageing Technics SP15 three speed turntables. The
Stanton ST100 looks perfect in every way except for handling 16 inch
discs.
Does anyone know of any other turntable that could do the job?  Has
anyone
had experience in modifying any model of turntable/tone-arm to handle
16-inch discs?
