I have a Synchro-Lab 95B that I bought from the wife of a deceased friend about four or five years ago. It has the cheap plastic plinth. The unit does have a quiet, but small, synchronous motor and does a credible job (actually a pretty good job) of spinning a record. Runs dead-quiet. It also has a (somewhat heavy) tonearm that actually tracks well and sounds decent. It's main claim to fame, IMO, is it resists footfalls better than any turntable I've ever had. One major flaw is the slide-in head-shell. This can loosen easy and also has contact issues. All in all, a decent inexpensive table. I've seen them go on ePay for $4.00- $30.00 or so. I paid $25.00 for mine and thought it was a bit high, but was contributing to a friend.
I have thought about tricking this unit out with a new massive plinth and some tweaking. I suspect the sound could surprise a few die-hard high-enders.
