Viewing your system brings back memories as I began putting together a system in 1956, it was mono then.
I remember looking for a turntable. I'd peruse through the buyers guide over and over and always paused when I got to Fairchild. They had two models in the 412 series; a single speed, oscillator driven model for mega bucks and a multiple speed model for more mega bucks. Fairchild was a big name in the recording industry and never made anything cheap. I've never seen one of their tables or knew anyone that owned one; they were just that rare and expensive.
I ended up with second hand table made by Components Corp. It was a belt drive model with a 30 lb. platter driven by a Bodine motor all mounted on a plywood deck. I paid $55 for it with a Pickering arm.
I'd still like to see a Fairchild table some day, just for the fun of it.. Have you done any comparisons to modern day tables and if so, what were your impressions?
