"The small motor to reduce vibration; the belt to isolate the motor; the suspended subchassis to reduce airborne vibration; the offset counterweight to aid in stability; the dual platters to further reduce vibration; etc. I may have some of this wrong and may have missed some items, so please chime in."
Not really firsts as the earlier Stromberg-Carlson PR-500 (and PR-499) had most of these features.
