SYNCHROMATIC SUPER "66" turntable direct from the 1960's to you. Includes original box, manual and paperwork.

Highlights in the manual include a "Feather-lite solid walnut viscous damped tone arm" with "LDM Stereo Cartridge" which is diamond. Solid walnut base, two synchronous timing motors with independent simultaneous direct drives, precision 12" aluminum platter and a unique "new" shock suspension system are among the other features. Turntable seems to be ready to go with RCA output plugs and standard AC plug.

All sales final. We state this product appears new, albeit from the 60's. No warranty is offered or implied. On the turntable, the old shipping foam rubber stuck to the aluminum deck and the aluminum may be oxidized in places. Even on the best TK2215 the aluminum has no coloration under the arm rather than the normal slight discoloration from age elsewhere on the deck. We believe the original aluminum decks were coated with something that yellowed slightly over the years. The foam pad under the tone arm took this coating off leaving bright aluminum.

For our second version, the TK2215P, the stylus has been removed and we are unable to locate replacements. Your chance for a bargain on this classic turntable.

The third version we have has a built in preamplifier. Two pilot lamps show on the left deck. I only have a few and these are rather rare.
