Internal strobe BUILT-IN music-only monitor power amplifier Tape Input and output Convenient control panel Exclusive Clinton Features Only Clinton has a floating pickup/turntable suspension, so that an accidental bump as you reach for a control knob will not cause needle skip. Only Clinton equipment can be operated on an inverter, on high line voltage, or under conditions of output overload without damage. Only Clinton offers a dual speed control— normal and extended range (0-80 r.p.m.) and automatic speed change from 33 to 45 rpm. Clinton alone rates power output, supplies a comprehensive service handbook including SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS for easy emergency service, and makes available plug-In components for such service.
