Where do I even begin? What are you upgrading (from), and what are you hoping to achieve?

Nice JD! A 606 very nice DD table, careful with cartridge matching as this is a low mass arm, probably need to stick with carts in the mid-weight range, no more than 7-8g probably.

Have fun!

^Yeah, I've been reading up on it. Growing up I always wanted a Dual but couldn't afford it. Then as I got older and the vintage stuff became more in demand...I couldn't afford it. Now I lucked out seeing this one and BINGO...I can afford it. I now have three turntables, Hitachi PS12, a Sansui (can't remember the model but something like an SR-525) and now my Dual 606. I think I'll gift the Hitachi to my son, I bought it when I was 15. It took almost a month to save up for it at the time. The Sansui I got at a local opportunity shop for $10 and it was in mint condition.

Here's my Turntable brought it new in 1985 and is still going strong. Mantra Manticore

Mine has still got the Mission tonearm it came with and is presently running a new Denon DL103 MC cart, previously had a Grado Signature 8M MI cart on it that I've had for years with a few stylus changes.

I recently watched Wim Wenders Road Trilogy.
The truck driver had his precious 45rpm collection on the truck seat and was playing a 45 by SLIDING it into this maybe 8X8 inch player!
This german  film would be early-70s and  cd players not yet in the public.

I never heard of a portable 45 player of this sort.

My first proper one was a Dual that had a wood frame.  Haven't had a functional one in years.  Still have all my top shelf LPs though.  Alas the bottom shelf which was mostly stuff I had replaced with CD were ruined in a flood.  No pics.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I have one of these. Nothing fancy, an affordable entry level turntable but it looks good. I've replaced the felt mat with leather, though.

I can already see the look on my wife's face when I back the truck into the driveway, unload the forklift that I need to unload the turntable that I need into the garage so I can build the addition to my house I need to support the audio gear I need to run this beautiful piece of sculpture. My needs are great ! My bank account...not so much Unhappy
