Review on BNineteenTeam 28cm Vinyl Record Player Turntable with Automatic Arm Return - Phonograph for Vinyl Records by Lawrence Reuter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only all in one mechanism available

This turntable mechanism has been used in many well known brand turntables over the last 30+ years and most recently in Crosley Keepsake turntables but Crosley used a moving magnetic cartridge instead of a cartridge . Ceramic cartridge comes in this one. The ceramic cartridge has been commonplace for cheaper branded turntables for the past several decades. The contact pressure on this unit is 5 to 6 grams which is correct for this cartridge, not 1.5 to 2.0 grams as stated in the product description. This device features an automatic arm return stop when the arm reaches the end of the record's playing range. It was $20 a few months ago, but supply is low, so the price has gone up. This is a better platter mechanism than the small platter mechanism used in inexpensive turntables today.

Pros
