Several of these were built, particularly the washing-machine-size
Fairchild transcription tables. They were very heavy and gave marginal
performance even when new.

Since belt drive tables are perfectly satisfactory for audiophiles and
direct drive ones perfectly satisfactory for DJs, why reinvent the
wheel?

Why not give audiophiles the same advantages as DJ's? Don't they deserve to
have a table that has the best possible speed accuracy?
