Our example of the 2001 Transcription Unit Turntable is in good working condition for its age and has had the original silicone decoupling bags replaced with sorbothane pads. It will be professionally packaged and comes with our regular three month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nLeak Said….\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned and built to the most stringent specifications, the 2001 Transcription Unit offers the finest performance and includes a number of very special features. Foremost amongst these is the unique fluid sphero-dynamic suspension system. This provides exceptionally high resistance to external shocks and vibrations in all modes, thus protecting effectively, both the sensitive pickup stylus and the record.\u003cbr\u003e\nSubstantial aluminium die cast turntable platter, lathe turned to extremely fine and accurate limits. The turntable itself is belt driven and its speed does not vary by more than 0.1% even when using a record cleaning device. Quick take up in speed: 33⅓ rpm no more than 2 seconds, 45 rpm no more than 2.5 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e\nLow friction, low noise, long life bearings and precision ground centre spindle, honed to 0.2 micro-metre finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnti-static turntable mat. This is designed to hold all diameters of record correctly and drive them from the rim, thus eliminating slipping caused by bowed or warped records.\u003cbr\u003e\nPrecision engineered pickup arm with low mass headshell, low friction bearings, anti-skating bias and calibrated tracking pressure adjustment providing maximum performance. Viscous damped, remotely controlled, pickup lift\/lower device with gentle action.\u003cbr\u003e\nLow consumption, slow speed, 10 pole synchronous motor: mounted remote from tracking area of pickup ensuring virtually no induced hum, even with the most sensitive cartridge. Speed accuracy is not affected by even large variations in supply voltage.\u003cbr\u003e\nLift off and hinging dust cover: can be lowered safely while unit is playing.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nTurntable:\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeeds: 33⅓ and 45 rpm\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeed Accuracy: ± 0.5%\u003cbr\u003e\nWow (typical): 0.08%\u003cbr\u003e\nFlutter (typical): 0.02%\u003cbr\u003e\nRumble (typical): - 65 dB DIN B\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter Diameter: 320 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPlatter Weight: 1.6 kg\u003cbr\u003e\nSuspension: Unique sphero-dynamic system comprising of dynamically balanced turntable and pickup assembly, independently mounted on three highly flexible spheres, each containing special viscous damping fluid.\u003cbr\u003e\nNatural Resonance Frequency: below 4 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nMotor: 10 pole synchronous 600 rpm at 50 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nTransmission: Belt drive to turntable rim.
