Transcriptor Transcriber

My other pride & joy, although retired: the Transcriptor Transcriber. One of the most peculiar designs amongst turntables. The tonearm remains fixed and is only able to move up-down while the turntable platter moves sideways underneath it during the playing of a record. The music, I almost forgot, is by John Coltrane. First 'One and four", then 'Simple like' (a.k.a. 'Like Sonny').

What speakers are you using in this video?

the undertray moving the platter assembly -- how does that react to the grooves. All records are cut differently, the distance is never the same. Is it some kind of sensitive friction or is it electronic feedback from the pickup?

What a great name. It is a not-so-logical design indeed. Maybe that's why it's unique?

The tiny pick up arm is attached to the glass lid. The arm, which they called a "micro-tracer" was a unipivot design. When the arm went slightly off tangential it would break a beam of light, and then a motor will push the platter over to align the arm once again so the stylus returns to being tangential with the groove.

Closing the lid lowers the needle onto the record?

Indeed, and then the turntable moves under the needle. With the black button on the left you can do that fast, searching for a certain song. It sounds like the dentist.
