Without an Anti-Skate, how can this 'table handle anything but super-flat records?

i am unfamiliar with Anti-skate, but can vouch for the fact that i haven't had any problem of the tonearm skating across my more wobbly vinyls. Maybe the tonearm is set heavy at the factory ? i haven't fiddled around with it.

Hi Noah, It can be used on 180g+ records. I have already done so ant there is no problem what so ever.

Have you ruled out the table being the problem? It doesn't seem possible to flatten out the fence with just the pressure from the outboard clamping bolts; I suspect you are just deflecting the table (especially if it's MDF). Check the fence on some thing that you know is flat, like your table saw. If the fence is the problem, Freud owes you a new fence.

I don't own this turntable, but I understand that the software included with the Numark TTUSB allows you to record 78s at 45 or 33, and then correct the speed through the software. The only remaining issue would be using a wider stylus for 78s so you don't get so much surface noise.

Yes it can sit flat on a shelf. If you go to a hardware store pick up a package of self adhesive rubber feet, you can put them on the bottom and it will protect the table top and keep it from slipping. Don't worry about airflow. This is just a glorified power strip that is rack mountable. Have you considered just getting a good surge protection power strip? Unless you are doing audio recording, RF and noise protection isn't necessary.

It may be used in the flat position. Why couldn't you use it as an artist's table?

Try a utility cart instead. This is an end table, and the finish would be damaged, even though it would probably support 80 pounds.

I've used it little but so far a smooth surface would be optimal. The wheels themselves move around like a shopping cart, unless you know of a way to lock them in one direction.

Depends how large the board is. You could put a slip free placemat on top so that the edge of the turntable would not slip away from the board. Good luck!

I really don't know. I have my records in the shelf horizontally and the shelf accommodates the records nicely and safely. You could try it but keep an eye on it to see if it will hold your records safely.

Since everyone is enjoying, go with an ELP laser turntable. Internet search for that and be amazed. Play your records like they ARE CD's. Wild!

As nailbender suggested a 1/16" tolerance is probably as good as its going to get without a dedicated table that's better locked into place. I too resigned myself to just bringing a custom table into the field if I was cutting stacks and needed it tighter than that tolerance. This stand is hard to beat for convenience but you usually always give up something for convenience. The nylon washer idea may be worth a try. The other problem is that as these stands wear out, the problem will get worse. Mine slopped quite a bit before I bought a new set but to be fair I had field repaired them many times before replacing. Not quite bubble gum and duct tape mind you, but they definately looked pretty Frankensteined at the end of their life

No, the turn table does not have these features. It has manual on/off switch and record speed adjustment. Also counter-weight on tone arm. No anti-skate device. But a very usable and quality device.

Thanks for the heads-up. I previously had a table with a similar pedestal footprint base, so am not used to leaning on the table top. Love to hear what others say.

I've been thinking about a way to build side rails. Most people put it next to a wall or desk to use for balance. It kind of is a disaster. Very narrow with no side rails, so you gotta watch your feet most of the time

Same thing happened to me. The stylus skated across every album I tried. I even tried tapping pennies and dimes to the top of the stylus to weigh it down with no success. I got a full refund from the seller and bought a Behrringer UFO202 device to play thru my old Techniques turn table from the 80's. Works great and only cost $35.00 for the converter.
