If you do the "Google" and extract some info, then you'll be even more informed in the thread discussion.

"Ya Know I wish you'd get off my ass...."

It's either B&O BG1800 or RX. The RX was the cheaper version of the BG1800.  They were excellent TB.  You could tip the TB on its side while playing an LP and the tonearm would continue to track.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for posting that's what I wanted to discuss that Table has nice audio to it..I've never seen that one before I'd like to Have it be better than my Techniques. :)LOL

Jack,
Even their linear trackers were something.  You could do the same thing. Tip them nearly vertical and the tonearm would track without missing a beat.  B&O had some of the best suspensions going in TTBs.

Also, B&O had 5 different cartridges that would mount into that TTB or other TTBs with that mount. The models ranged from MMC1 to MMC5. The MMC1 was their flag ship cartridge. The MMC1 through MMC3 used a nude diamond tip where the MMC4 and MMC5 used a bonded tip.  The MMC4 and 5 would wear out and the bonded tip would just break off the shank. If you're interested in a B&O TTB get one with an MMC3 if you can find one.  B&O as far as I know still services their cartridges so if you find one you can get it repaired or re-tipped.

Wish I'd said that a few pages ago.

LOL....oh crap....Hi Paul... 8)

Bob I did not know those tables were that well built now I'll be on the hunt for sure :)

Yea man let's just walk all over Jacks thread like a bunch a Mut heads.....like it's apiece of crap..

I have a real interest in LP turntables if you don't like it that's just to god damn bad isn't it
ya know I'd appreciate a little respect like the Special people get on here..we all know who the Special guys are sure but see a lot of folks will read this an see just how the Poloticks are on here on This Board forthem...an It's usually an eye opener because this thread wasn't insulting anyone not at all till it was slighted by an Opey.

Pete you started this crap..Like always .. you've become proficient at it. second nature..
and then it'll  be What who Me...
I was trying to behave and get along But No...Nup...so if any one needs me not including the
Opey Crew my E-Mail is good.

Have a Nice Day. :)

This message will last only until one of the Opey crew sees it an deletes it we can't let
the masses see how the asses really are. AM ya

Right..

Jack a thicker skin is needed................
I realize that B&O audio equipment was high-end, but I never liked the futuristic design of their components.
And the Technics design TT were nothing but feedback generators. You could not play a record in the same room as the speakers, unless you wanted to see wasted amplifier power and the woofers just fluttering away. Usually not corresponding to the actual bass notes. I'm talking about listening above 20 watts of audio.
That nasty RIAA EQ curve. You turn on the RUMBLE filter and there goes all of your bass response. Cuts off bass below 50hz.
I spent (1978) $500.00 for a nice Japanese Yamaha TT that I still use, the YPD-8

Well worth the effort.

Hi Fred,

Good Morning well that's fine but If I return I'm steppin out of line

It's real simple Fred if I would have been left alone at the beginning of
the thread,.. and I had one O.M. he's gone now I don't need that guy telling me
to go read something I don't need that...I would have continued on life
would have been good and You and I,..we wouldn't be having this conversation right now...?

An so far nobody has said to me lately I'm bothering them if I am I need to know...

And still with all Respect my thread has gone to heck

Perhaps I'm seeing this with a different perspective, but I don't understand why you are sensing hostility.  You asked a question about something and someone replied with a suggestion on how to find out more information and you seem to be offended for some reason not understood by me. 

With further postings you seem to think the thread has "gone to heck".  I just don't see it the way you do.

Hi,

Great I got as far as a Techniques Table and that was it but I admire some of these others. :)
Forgot to say Any Pics..?

Hi,

No it's like this I asked a person to leave it alone ..ok and if you read from the beginning that persons postings following me 
it's not hard to understand there's no hostility here I told him to get off my ass
do you have anything to offer as far as turntables are concerned or not...simple.

For the turntable part of the discussion.  I have a Denon crystal time based turntable with an Ortofon cartridge.   I was a garage sale find, but it is the best one I have for converting vinyl to CD.   Technics and Garrard that I have used for this in the past have a noticable rumble when  you turn up the gain, but the Denon combination has none of that.

Hi Bob thanks for posting,

I do a have few things from my younger daz I don't know if you remember the RCA 45 Players
I have in a box in the attic an Original RCA 45EY2 I think it is all there all it played was 45's
it's actually my older sisters when her and her grilfriends would get together in the 60's
and Play records but I Snatched it up when she moved out..never told her..I'm waiting
on her 40th aniversry of her an her husband i'm gona lay it out... :D
Be a Shocker... :D

OK Gary.........good stuff. My cousin had a Thorens TT and nice, very nice. I asked what happened to it, after he passed and they shipped it to his brother and because of careless packing , never survived. Wasn't UPS fault. Probably just put in a cardboard box and shipped. The SME Tone Arms were supposed to be the best for minimal tracking error.

Jack, I was just trying to add a little humor. no problem.
I hope you are ok. PM if you need to talk more.
Fred

Hi Mop,

No ,.. No feelings hurt here heck no, It's just something between mysylf and Pete is all..

Please use PM or email for your exchanges with Pete. The rest of us aren't interested. Thanks.

This gentleman asked a Question I answered it. That's all

Jack, when I was very young in the early 50's I got an RCA45EY2 (just checked an RCA web site and it is the same one.). Many ears ago I scrapped it but I still have the carrying case for it.   I store family films in it now.

 A few years ago I ran across a very rare old Western Electric transformer at the Lapeer hamfest. When I put it on eBay it got a lot of interest from two Japanese buyers. The ultimate winning bidder came a few months later to visit and check out some local collectors. What I found totally amazing was the fact that he was interested in 78 RPM equipment and recordings. Old GE Variable Reluctance cartridges and the huge, heavy 78 RPM turntables were his big thing. There was no interest whatsoever in LP stuff. Just triodes and 78s .

GE VRII forever.  8)

Bob,

They were cool little record players man. Nice Sound too. :)

For Jack, to go along with the turntable, Bang & Olufsen just came out with an $85,000 plasma 3D TV, in case you are interested.   There is a video today on it at www.marketwatch.com.
