The Realistic LAB-2100 Linear Tracking Turntable- Warning: This Turntable Might Contain Balrogs!

This is the Realistic LAB-2100 linear tracking automatic turn table built for Radio Shack by Panasonic's Technics division. It's a very simple, but very robust turntable that we found at an estate sale for five dollars.
This is a simple show-and-tell of what I thought was a very nice turntable for the price.

You probably won't find any balrogs inside. But then again, that's what the dwarves believed when they mined just a little too deep in Khazad-dûm... and look what happened to them. I'm just saying be careful.

(Disclaimer)
I say this every time. I can't believe I still have to... political comments and hostility or trolling will be immediately deleted and you will be reported. This is a silly little show and tell of a turntabe, not a platform for pontification.
