cool turntable speed strobe device
Okay so gone are the days of built in strobes on turntables but there are times you want to be sure your platter speed is correct. well, its easy to print a strobe disk but the light to properly view can be hit or miss.
I just purchased one (back order) from a guy on another site. He setup a bulk buy...you can't go wrong for $14 shipped.
Pocket Turntable Strobe, 60.0Hz 0.005% accurate
If you want one, you can order it here

Looks like this..so cool. Just shine on the strobe disk and you'll easily see fast or slow...

Re: cool turntable speed strobe device
actually i was going to start a thread awhile back on why tables dont have built in strobes anymore and how much i like having one again and a very easily adjustable one. and i took pics so i might as well post them for you, since they been sitting on my comp for 4 months.lol. now i can finally delete them. oh btw, im still gonna buy that pocket strobe. never know when it may come in handy.

Do a search for CyberTech Digital Photo Laser......there will be a bunch to choose from.
I own several strobes devises by Clearaudio, KAB and prefer the digital tach......I took an LP I paid a buck for and applied the reflector tape you get with the digital tach on the outer edge (first cut) of the LP then drop the arm on the second cut and bingo!! I like numbers instead of a wiggly hash markDealer / Manufacture Disclosure:

Re: cool turntable speed strobe device
Jeff, that's just about the greatest idea I've heard in a while! Wow, actual numbers! Easy to verify the speed of my Pioneer TT, but I want to verify my Denon (even though I don't hear anything off). Hmm, I think I'll try your idea of the $1 record or in my case I have a dup of Joni Mitchell around here I can use. Better yet, I have a Yorkshire test record, I could.......uh, no wait a tick, I see those are now worth a pretty penny..ok, maybe I shouldn't use it then. On the other hand I don't see myself ever selling any of my records. I'm just not into that.
