And
a post 2006 sample. A different manufacturer producing
stronger magnets.
JCV
Laboratoire also produced a Loudspeaker..
La
Platine prototype. Notice the AC motor is placed
very close to the spindle. There is even a cut-out
made in the plinth. There is a reason for that,
the closer they are, the shorter the belt, the
lower the speed deviation. Have a look at the
early Kuzma XL; it resembles most of La Platine
prototype design principles, and in it's latest
version the XL now has.... Magnets.
An
original 'Granito' has the silver zinc-chromate
finish.
The
mounting base of the first batch 'Granito' was
cast in the base and the actual bearing was mounted
on top. The early spindle has still the trust-washer.
The ball was introduced later.
An
obscurity; the MC Pre Pre. No Tubes!
Another
nice catch; the 'Gold Series' 2A3 integrated.
