 | Esoteric sound professional restoration turntable deck phonograph (Rek-O-Kut, Technics).  SOLD! The Esoteric Sound Professional Restoration Deck is a specialty multi-speed turntable built by Esoteric Sound for archiving, transferring, and restoring vintage records, 78s, and broadcast transcriptions. Built specifically for audio archivists, collectors, and hobbyists needing to play rare and non-standard record formats. This unit is in the same family as the high end Technics and Rek-O-Kut professional turntables. Unlike standard consumer turntables that only offer 33? and 45 RPM, this restoration deck also features multiple or continuous/extended speed options (including 78 RPM and specialized speeds for acoustic-era and broadcast discs 71.29 rpm, 76.59 rpm, 78.26 rpm and 80 rpm). Esoteric Sound (based in Illinois) paired these turntables with specialized vertical/lateral switches for Pathé/Edison records. Highly regarded by 78 RPM and transcription disc collectors who need precise speed control and accurate tracking of grooved vintage media. Comes with grounded audio cables, a separate headshell & cartridge for 78 rpm (the 33 & 45 microgroove headshell is installed) and two each extra new LP and 78rpm stylus. Unit is missing the dust cover. Plays and works like new. My only reason for selling is I upgraded to a 16" transcription capable deck. Was $450 new. Measures 16-12"W x 14-1/2"D x 3"H. $200.00.
