A prime example of design over engineering. Ideal coffee table

I've used it for over twenty years and found it to be quite superb.

I can't believe it was designed on any engineering principles except
"this looks impressively hi-tec and expensive". Despite it's apparent
failure to provide the basic function of a platter - solid support for
the disc - did it really manage to sound special?

Absolutely not. Far worse than a good cheap deck. All it mananaged was to
go round at roughly the correct speed.

I'll bet Russ Andrews sold them. ;-)
