Before you do something extravagant, audition the Realistic LAB-300 at the nationwide supermarket of sound.
Common sense never sounded so good! Turntables are sporting lots of "revolutionary" features these days--electronic eyes ... mini-computers ... hydraulic suspension systems. ... About the only things they have in common are knob appeal and a high price. The Realistic LAB-300 is different. It offers one very down-to-earth attraction: flawless performance at a price that's way below other top-of-the-line models. So you do the seeing and thinking, and we'll save you a bundle. Here's how: Single-play design for better sound per dollar. By avoiding the noise and cost of a changer mechanism, Realistic can concentrate on getting maximum music and life from your 33 1/3 and 45 RPM records. The S-shape tone arm, 8 1/2" long from point to stylus, tracks accurately even at 3/4 gram. Belt-driven by a powerful synchronous motor. Wow and flutter: less than 0.1%. Rumble: better than -60 dB (DIN B).
With semi-automatic convenience.
You touch the tone arm only to start the record. At disc's end, an independent mechanism returns the arm and shuts off the motor, saving cartridge and turntable from needless wear. Damped cueing, direct-reading tracking force adjustment, variable anti-skate.
A look of luxury. Solid and uncluttered. Simplified function controls. Precision aluminum, chrome and stainless tone arm assembly. Walnut-grain vinyl veneer base.
All "extras" included. The cartridge is the heart of your turntable, and Radio Shack doesn't think it should be treated as an accessory. So the LAB-300 comes with a Realistic-by-Shure model performance-matched to the tone arm. It's our finest magnetic elliptical, a $44.95 value in itself! The sturdy, friction-hinged dust cover is included, too.
