I was watching the tv show, "Fringe" and they used two turntables.  I could not get the first one, though it had an S-curve arm, and there was a circle of blue light that may have been a strobe speed indicator near the headshell.

The other one I got right away, the old Zenith Circle of Sound stereo with the 2 gram arm.

Anybody catch this show and know that first turntable?

I don't know what they are but this is what they look like:

Turntable #1



Turntable #2
The speakers look as old as the table.

The first TT is a current Numark TTXUSB. Looks like the cartridge is missing!! Those who've been around TTs for a while will have better insight into the vintage TT. Looks like a console to me though.

WGH,
Thanks for those great screen captures.  Exactly what I was asking for.
Aren't the Numark TT's just pieces of junk for DJ scratchin'?

Yes, you young punks, that Zenith Music System is from the late 60's, with the "marvelous"
Circle of Sound speakers, which dispersed the sound in a 360 degree manner thanks to the cone.
All joking aside, an old friend has most of his records intact because of that lighter tracking arm and head.
My LP's from that time are all gone.  My family had a Montgomery Ward's stereo, with a BSR Turntable.
It did have a Phase Switch on it, which I found intriguing.  Why put that on a run of the mill machine?

Back to the Fringe show, it was nice to have the mad doctor, listening to old Mississippi Delta blues records
as he was going through the stacks.

But his son was using the turntable platter to advance and reverse/rewind and "tune into" the soundwaves on that piece of glass. More than a little bogus, especially since he retrieved a whole paragraph of sound off of that small sample cutting from the glass.

I guess it's all in fun, but that was some true baloney thrown at the audience.
