Transcriptors Turntables

Over the years, there have been a number of smaller brands that have designed some stunning turntables. Here we see a classic, beautiful turntable from Transcriptors. If you've seen A Clockwork Orange, this one will look familiar. Here's a bit about the company:

Founded in 1960 by the late David Gammon, Transcriptors was one of the World’s leading manufacturer of manual turntables, tone arms and accessories, and one of the most modern Hi Fi manufacturing plants in Europe during the 60’s, 70’s and the early 80’s. Many readers will be familiar with our turntables, which have been widely used in numerous television commercials, and in many films, including the classic 1971 film ‘A Clockwork Orange’ which used our 1964 Hydraulic Reference turntable in various scenes throughout the film. Our products have been copied and reproduced all over the world, from the ‘Concept 2000’ and the ‘Audio Linear’. Even today’s modern turntable design’s bear there origins to the striking designs that were designed by David Gammon, perhaps no better compliment could be paid to his famous turntables.

That is a beautiful turntable.

Some of the old Duals and Transcriptors have such a sense of functional design. Amazing.
