School type turntable, $15 at a yard sale [the Leibowitz Beethoven Symphony cycle set me back $1], playing on the kitchen counter as I make some cookies:

I was going to ask if the Nakamichi might be the easiest to distinguish from the others (because of the disc-centering mechanism that reduces pitch variations from off-center pressings)... but in your example, has the centering arm with the sensor been replaced with a conventional tonearm? Also, may I ask what the small tube in front of the Nakamichi is?
Incredible…The Dragon CT has the centering arm that looks like a tonearm. The TX-1000 gilds the lily a bit more:
The tube is a bicycle tire pump for the pneumatic feet.
I have a copy of that Crystal Clear direct-cut LP too. Who knows, maybe the cover art was a nod to the Arthur Fiedler footbridge over Storrow Drive in Boston. https://gillisphotos.com/wp-content...oston-Esplanade-Arthur-Fiedler-Footbridge.jpgMy third and last record player: A Linn LP12 (bought new in 1994), with Linn Lingo power supply, Linn Ekos arm (both bought used in 1996) and a Van den Hul MC One Special pickup (bought used around 2000 and retipped once). Just playing a direct-to-disc recording I bought for €1 out of the trash bin at a local dealer about 2 years ago.
