One of the first, if not the first, tangential turntable; conceived from Pierre Clement in 1967 and consequently produced after his dead from Schlumberger…
Un véritable objet de culte ! Le summum en matière de lecture de disques noirs. Le problème a été le décès de Pierre Clément, son concepteur, et le rachat par Schlumberger, qui avait la quasi exclusivité de la fourniture des matériels BF pour les radios francaises. Le marché Hi Fi ne l intéressait pas du tout et cette platine n interessait pas les radios.Donc ce projet a donné lieu à un bel enterrement même pas en 1ere classe !
Thats a really interesting turntable. I always thought that Schlumberger/Solartron was just lab and test gear. Just a shame there's no 78 option. What kind of compliance range does the arm support? It seemed to be distorting, was that mistracking, a worn record or just the microphone recording it? Great turntable though😊
Hi, I’ve mese the recordings with my iPhone, so maybe is not the best for sound 😬, but it’s sounds great…. This is probably the first commercial tangential turntable! It is actually a Pierre Clement, Schlumberger got over this brand after Clement die and commercialized this turntable that was almost a prototype… but still a great one!!!
@@ilfafioccaro417 Thanks for the reply; it's definitely new to me, and most interesting! A great machine, there can't be many of those around. It's great that you put them up here and share them with us all. 🙂
