Metzner Starlight 671 // Transcription Turntable / Aural Custom Restoration

One of the most noteworthy turntables in hi-fi history, now one of a kind. The Metzner Starlight is a true transcription table, with a Gray 202 tonearm, direct drive, and variable speed control from 16 to 83 RPM. The Starlight was designed by Robert Metzner, who also founded Roberts Electronics, and is best known for bringing Akai to the United States. The Starlight was the only product that carried the Metzner banner, and was only produced for a short time. This example has been mechanically restored, and cosmetically upgraded with a beautiful walnut plinth.
