The Laser Turntable
from ELP Corporation
Described in its ad brochure as "the essence of dream", the Laser
Turntable would make any DJ salivate at the thought... But before you start
"dreaming" of never paying for another set of needles, or never retiring an
awesome classic because the mix you turn out has a scratch on it, let it be
known that these machines are not ready for the DJ booth yet. The Laser
Turntable brings some of the qualities of a CD player into your grand
mother's faithful record player. This is the world's first and only analog
record player guaranteed not to damage the grooves on your records.
laser turntable:
seven years of research and development in the us in the mid 80s,
supported by japanese investors and ten more years of refinement in japan
