   Amazing you’re unable to figure out even what’s in front of you. This video might not be exciting or amazing but it’s not pointless: this turntable seems to be able to understand IF there is a record on the dish and eventually even the correct size of it (33-45): when there is nothing on, the head goes back. Otherwise it falls exactly on the blank-groove… and always hitting one single button.

   Note the openings on the platter. To the upper left of the platter is a light tower. The openings allow the sensors below to sense light from the tower; if none are obscured, the table knows there’s no record. If some are concealed, it knows its a single; when all are concealed, it knows it’s a fullsize.

   Manual cueing is likely possible to account for transparent and translucent records.

   Yesyes exactly. I was only pointing out that the video is NOT pointless as someone commented How couldn’t they just miss the point of it? It might not be as exciting as a Jackie Chan movie, I understand, but it’s undeniable that the video IS actually showing something (a demo of the sensor system to detect record size)

   As you say, when people watch a YouTube video, they expect to be entertained and ignore any practical aspects that it can serve.

   Although, and I’ll be honest here, I did find the video entertaining because I like A/V electronics and I like to see machines in action.

   It is a very nice turntable. Was it made by Philips?

   The player is made by ITT in Japan. I was selling it on eBay and needed to show it working. It’s quite hard to explain it in words, the video says it all. You tube is a great tool for eBay sellers. I will use it again. As the cleaver people amongst you realised, not every video has to thrill and excite. Also well done on working out the light.

   did it arrive to it’s new owner safely? Sometimes, if not all the time, turntables never survive the Unionized Package Smashers, due to their delicate, intricate mechanism, and the fact that they’re so hard to pack correctly.

   I hope it survived, because this is a totally awesome turntable.
