Hate to say it, but I was a teen and that one just didn't look cool to me at all - then again, at that point I didn't appreciate the scandanavian design.

As far as cool I think my B&O lateral tracking TT was very cool and also high maintenance!

I remember a turntable with a wooden tone arm, didn't know the name.  My favorites just for looking cool were the flying saucer looking Dennons in the mid/late '70s and the Micro Seiki that had mounts for three different tone arms.  I was on a budget and stuck with Technics DD tables.

Does anyone remember the Weathers turntable?  I had one and it came with a wooden tonearm carved for a specific cartridge. 

It was 33 only and had two synchronous motors and a mercury switch.  It would come up to stable speed in about a quarter turn.
