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.

Hi Clay-
Just thought I'd throw this in. I saw a the Debut III recently, and was thrown off by the slightly undersized 11-inch thin metal platter. My preference is for a platter to support the whole record. It has a very decent tonarm, though. Probably a fine value. Avaliable in lots of colors!

I could use a new TT. Did you mean the Pro-Ject Debut III? Looks like it comes with an Ortofon OM5e.

The Onkyo lasted about 25 years and was replaced a few years ago by an Onkyo TX-8511. I don't think it's DC-coupled though. The JBL's are still going strong. Both are what my M400 goes through.
