Transcriptors Reference Turntable - David Gammon Prototype

PictureTobias, the new proud owner
It was a cloudy Wednesday when I met Tobias at Southampton airport. During our previous conversation on the telephone Tobias said "you won't be able to  miss me, I will be dressed in green, like a Leprechaun!" Well, i thought, this is going to be an interesting day.

To say that Tobias is into Transcriptors  turntables is an understatement, he knows everything there is to know about them and has a passion for them which comes across as soon as you talk to him
.

Equipped with his made to measure box in a bag to enable him to take it back on the plane to Amsterdam as hand luggage. He proceeded to dismantle the transcriptors prototype on the table of the Airport coffee shop..... much to the wonder of the nearby coffee drinkers and shop staff.

Tobias represents the Transcriptors.NL website, and Amsterdam Transcriptors museum. He also makes speakers c all the 'Asses'.. check the link!!  http://www.transcriptors.nl/

The Turntable was identified as one of the first David Gammon Prototype versions, it has three weights, painted wooden plinth, instead  of perspex and two brushes, as they hadn't decided where to put the brush!!.. a true, working prototype of probably the most iconic turntable in the world....

We are so happy, that such an enthusiastic collector purchased it from us, and it can be seen in their collection. Click here to see his own write up of the meeting http://www.transcriptors.nl/archief-nl/23-het-oppikken-van-de-pick-up
Good use made of a Whisky carton.
Is it the correct weight?
