16" vinyl - need turntable
Are there any turntables that are not rare and expensive that could
possibly play a 16" disc, even if at the wrong speed, or even if it coulnd't far enough one way or the other to play the whole record? I bought a few discs thinking I could find something someday, but all I've seen are $1500 antique players. |

Not sure what you mean by antique, but to the best of my knowledge the 16" disks were transcription disks used in radio from the late 30's until early 50's (until replaced by tape). So the turntables that played them were massive studio transcription turntables....made by Rek-O-Cut and especially Presto. Unfortunately, I think to play your disks you'll have to find or buy one of them. |
