 | HarvestmanMan Rockin' foo Member since Aug 2013 94 Points | I think several manufacturers released vertical turntables - Mitsubishi had the LT-5V introduced in 1980. |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator | Doesn't the pressure of the needle on the disc change though? normally the weight of the arm holds it on the disc correctly, but this would have to be artificially reproduced, not to mention the pressure bearing on one side of the groove being greater than the other. That's got to affect the sound hasn't it? looks too complicated to me... maybe that's why repeated attempts at his kind of thing fall by the wayside. |

 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Ugh --- this is a thingie for people with more money than brains. Style over function. For $449 will your records sound any better? I doubt it. Amy |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | No-one in their right mind would buy a gadget like this for its audio performance - it's strictly for novelty factor, to impress mates. |

| ppint. ● Member since Aug 2012 6397 Points | at least one each of the - 45rpm, 7"-playing - juke boxes in langwith college jcr bar in the university of york, and s. martin's college social club bar, bowerham, lancaster, played records in the vertical: the single tone -arm played either side of the disc as it had a stylus on each side°. - pressure was applied by coiled springs more-or-less in balance plus-or-minus however many grams force the thing tracked at°°, depending on whether it was playing on the one side or the other of the discs. all the a (or b)-sides selected were played through in one direction or t'other, followed by all the b (or a)-sides selected, moving through the cabinetful of records in the direction opposite to that just travelled. - which direction it set off in was determined by the direction towards the first new selection made from where the selector had come to rest at the end of the previous string of all selections, iyswim. new selections made before the previous string was exhausted would be interpolated - which could annoy people who'd paid for and made their choices earlier; but it was a strictly electro-mechanical selecting device. °- i don't recall for certain whether it had two separate cartridges in the arm, but probapossibly not, as it was fairly thin; maybe the two styluses°°° deformed the same piezo-electric crystal from opposite sides °° - presumably variable by the operator servicing the box, but many grammes force - teens or even tens °°° - ok, ok, "styli" or "stylus" (depending upon which declension). . .

 | albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1345 Points | There used to be a website which, if you sent a scan of your actual vinyl record, would play it virtually. Oh and I remember seeing those vertical playing jukeboxes also. |

 | harry1958 In Time I May Buy A Watch. Member since Mar 2012 2021 Points | Of course the vertical playing of vinyl wasn't a commercial success unless you were NSM. [image]2126505[/image] |

All record players without pressure assistance would be equally useless in space... ...but then, it'd still be better than an mp3.... ...because in space, no-one can hear you stream If you were outside the capsule, it wouldn't matter what you played, and on what, as sound doesn't travel in the vaccum |

 | gregs45s SUBS Member since Apr 2012 7501 Points |  Indeed MM,makes you wonder why they keep referring to the beginning of the Universe as "The Big Bang" doesn't it;),and even if it did make a noise there was no-one around to hear it anyway;) |

 | robozuc ● Member since Jun 2011 7455 Points Moderator | If the biggest problem is the dust that is deposited on the vinyl record, with the disc positioned vertically, the problem is solved ... have you thought about this?   |
