Re: Appraising a Fairchild 412 turntable

64.12.116.6

The pic link isn't working for me.
My opinion is that the speakers probably have minimum value and if the Weathers arm is like the I had where the rear of the arm slips into a rubber mounting bushing, I think it's of minimum value too.
The Fairchild 412 in my opinion is a huge sleeper yet undiscovered and the last one that sold on E-Bay went for somewhere around $167 with arm. (412-1)
There was more than one version of the 412 and some of the older ones with the green plastic speed select window have fetched more. Probaly because they are perceived as being of sturdier construction than the newer kit versions.
Personally I think the 412 has all the PRAT of a TD124 but the later 60's versions aren't built like tanks.
