the "everything" turntable


Dust cover, Realistic-by-Shure magnetic cartridge included in a low discount price. No extras to buy.

"Everything" starts with a cartridge--because that's where your signal begins. The Realistic LAB-300 includes a superb, elliptical-stylus model, performance matched to the tone arm. It's our top-of-the-line magnetic cartridge, a $44.95-value in itself.

A superb belt-drive manual. Eliminating the complexity of a changer cuts cost and noise, and lets Realistic concentrate on getting maximum music and life from your 33 1/3 and 45 RPM discs. The S-shape tone arm tracks accurately down to 3/4 gram. Wow and flutter: less than 0.1%. Rumble: better than -60 dB (DIN B).

With automatic arm return. Touch the arm only to start the record. At disc's end, an independent mechanism engages the arm and shuts off the motor. Damped cueing, direct-reading tracking force adjustment and variable anti-skate control.

A look of luxury. Solid and uncluttered. Handsome walnut grained vinyl veneer base. Steel-hinged self supporting dust cover. Precision aluminum, stainless steel and chrome tone arm assembly.
