Officially a bit pony.
If I had to have something Mustang-branded and rubbish, I think I’d rather have that than their new electric SUV thing.
A classic case of putting the horses before the cart.
Waywards?
Should be
Love the style of this!
A while back Pete kindly posted pictures of my ‘aja’ turntable and there were some positive comments. At the time I promised a picture of my McLaren Burnt Orange version. Well things have moved apace in the last few weeks(!) and here you go. I should be showing these at the re-scheduled Cranage show in November.
Very nice indeed, Tony.
Yes, superb, especially the orange/black version
Yes, very nice, especially the Burnt Orange one.
Thanks for the comments. The Orange is with charcoal grey metalwork which does look a bit black in pics. Here is a close up
Both lovely
Both want. But I’d settle for one. Time to raid the sofas.
Commonwealth turntable factory - November 1, 1968
Fascinating - I’ve never heard of a Commonwealth, but it sounds like it’s a Garrard competitor so could be pretty good. Thanks for posting, Paul
The champions of the Commonwealth turntables have been Herr’s Schick and Schroeder who’ve used restored samples at various events I’ve been at. I’m not sure the engineering is as sophisticated as a Garrard or EMT but the general construction is reassuringly substantial and they have sounded pretty good. Prices have sadly shot up in recent years.
Yep - saw one on ebay USA in average unrestored condition for $2.5k
Looks like Jelco have gone.
