Desmodromic bevel gear driven turntables -Presto, RCA

Posted by u47 (P) on June 28, 2008 at 05:25:31

Not much discussion on these old rigs. Anyone heard one of these? I've never heard a working example. Searched on the board and found nothing. Did WE make anything similar? This beast weighs well over 100 pounds. One speed appears to be idler driven and the other two speeds look to be gear drive. Pretty amazing build- from another era- makes most of today's tables seem like toys...

I'm pretty sure a factory Ducati tt would be a bit more stylish. - powermatic 08:18:48 06/28/08 (2)
