Default Turntables at giveaway prices

What may be a point of interest is that I can't remember ever having seen
an EMT turntable at the BBC. TV used BBC designed units exclusively, and
R1 etc where discs were played in direct, Gates originally then Technic
DD. Of course the BBC is a vast place so they probably had them somewhere.


AFAIK (and you will probably know better having been there), the BBC
Technics SP10 motor unit was standard, the power supply was the modified
bit. The std SP10-mk2 supply was fixed speed, the BBC version allowed
incremental changes.

I only know as I am in the process of obtaining a non BBC SP10...
