I remember those days, and seeing those tables around. Not exactly shy about the strobe markings, were they. Times change, today if you hooked up a strobe to the motor's power supply, you would get bitch slapped.

I dig the tri pod design, the minimilist look with three points describing a circle hits me better than a wooden box holding the platter. Perhaps that is why I wound up with a Gyro se, I would deny it was bought for style, but it does look pretty cool,and kind of like a blood centrifuge when in action.

It is indeed a DDX1000. The speed control unit is not pictured.

Mine has performed flawlessly since I bought it new around 1980. The speed remains spot on very rarely needing adjustment.
