[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 68295, member: 807"] Not a solenoid, but a cam driven by a motor through a gearbox (GB). The SABC turntables that JDZA and I have do the same thing by means of a solenoid wound around the platter bearing shaft. The point of it is to get instant start - the already-rotating platter is lifted up to couple with a much lighter disc - that can rest on supports around the platter (on the garrard these supports are short curved pieces of plastic stuck or screwed on, on the SABC TT, the entire platter metal bezel acts as the disc suppport. That is quite a sexy control panel! My Nakamich 500 does something similar: Press a button and one VU meter becomes a tape position meter - if you are too incapacitated to look at the actual cassette itself through the window. [/QUOTE]
