$200-$400 1950s-19602 turntable recommendations

Posted by dschwab (A) on May 4, 2010 at 18:41:08

I'll soon be in possession of a Fisher 500-C receiver for my second system and would like to add a few things. First off is a turntable for it. I want to limit my choices to the 50s and 60s. I need it to play at 33, 45 and 78. Here's where I should have my options greatly reduced: I would like it to have a removable headshell as I would be going back and forth between the three speeds and would prefer to use a different cartridge for each.

Is there anything anyone could recommend as far as a tt that has a good reputation at this price point and has a removable headshell? Dual? Elac? Lenco? I don't know. Triple bonus points if it could also let me stack records on a changer, but if it doesn't that wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me push comes to shove I'll take a better sound quality over the automatic feature....but it sure would be nice!

Any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

p.s. for what it is worth I'll be listening almost exclusively to rock & country from the 50s thru the 70s on it.
