  • Notes

  • CONNOISSEUR BD103/A This is probably the lowest-priced D.C. Servo Motor turntable on the market. Belt driven, and with 3 speeds and arm and auto lift off, it comes complete with cover and base at $299.50*.

    It has 33⅓, 45 and 78 speeds, Stroboscope pitch control, and a separate power supply (BD3),

    Without the arm, it's designated as the BD103 at $239.50*.

    Connoisseur has been known since year one for excellent performance at a low price, and although not designed to take abuse, their products have generally been very reliable.

    Specifications on 103 models should equal or exceed -77 dB rumble and -100 dB hum.

    *Prices above are Canadian dollars in 1978.
