Ricci has a happy facility for this work and c.\ccpt for a littlc hardncss of tonc now and thcn, lie must hc rcparded as thc pecr of Hcifetz, (whose old mono rccordinc has ł>ccn withdrawn from thc Schunnn). Fjelstad providcs a knowlcdpe-ahlc accompaniment and thc rccordinp is notahlc for thc clcan roundc«l spaciousncss of its stereo.

But for late comers we’d like to point up just a few of the really big features (non-technical readers may skip remarks in parentheses): • Extra heavy table for con-stant speed (lOlbrim-concentratedtable insures Iow wow and flutter; higher moment of inertia than any similar table). • Exact speed (±3% adjustment on all speeds—162/3, 33lA, 45, 78—with built-in illuminated Strobę for setting after Stylus is on record). • Easy on records after you've placed Stylus, permits 2Ą rev. starts, makes cueing easy). • Ex-tremely Iow rumbie (mirror-finish main-bearing, nylon-seated ball-thrust-bearing reduce both vertical and horizontal rumbie to a new Iow, so important for stereo). • 2-way motor rumbie reduction (both an extra-large idler and an ultra-compli-ant belt drive keep motor vibration and speed variations from table). Driving parts electronically balanced. No costly base necessary (only $9.00). 50/60 cy-cles, 100/250 volt operation.
These are just a few of the TD-124's features. Ask your dealer to tell you the
