About the Item

Rare Transcriptor Skeleton Turntable, "A Clockwork Orange" Truely Amazing design,, Amazing engineering, Great original condition Tested and working perfectly. Transcriptors was founded in 1960 by the late David Gammon along with his brother Anthony as secretary, which was a legal requirement at the time. The company was one of the World’s leading manufacturer of manual turntables, tone arms and accessories, and one of the most modern hi-fi manufacturing plants in Europe during the 60’s, 70’s and the early 80’s. Transcriptors turntables have been widely used in numerous television commercials, and in many films, including the classic A Clockwork Orange (1972) and The Look Of Love (2013) both that featured Gammon's classic 1964 hydraulic reference turntable. The Skeleton turntable was also used in the X-Men – First Class (2011) and Creepshow (1982) Oh Bliss! Bliss and Heaven! Oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied I knew such lovely pictures!"-What Malcolm McDowell said as Alex in Stanley Kubricks "A Clockwork Orange" as he listened to Beethoven on a Mitchell turntable very similar to this one. Designed in the early 1970s and completely hand made. The original from the film is in the Museum Of Modern Art, in the permanent design collection. A striking object.
