Laser vinyl turntables.

A laser turntable or optical turntable is a phonograph that plays standard lp records and other gramophone records using laser beams as the pickup instead of using a stylus as in conventional turntables. The first functioning laser turntable the lt 1 was made by finial technology and had a projected street price of 3750. The only commercially available laser turntable initially was the elp lt 1xa which was first sold in 1987 for 20 500. Lasers were first introduced for reading vinyl groove information almost 40 years ago.

I remember the laser disc s of the 80 s. And there s much more of a interesting retro factor. Though the idea for using a laser beam to trace the data engraved in a phonograph record s grooves dates back to the early 1980s it still seems a bit sci fi to put an lp in the drawer of what looks like an old fashioned laserdisc. A pop i doubt too many people will get one.
