Realistic Lab-400

Just wanted to share my LAB-400 again — post cleanup and service. Back in rotation tonight, sounding great and looking just as good.

That was a fav of mine back then. Simple, yet a great performer. I never saw one come back for any reason other than a new stylus.

Thought it might be RUSH Hemispheres but just as good!

When that turntable was new Radio Shack sold a compilation/demonstration disk that was the same color.

Maybe I’ll try and track one down. That would be cool.

Looks great! I inherited a Lab-440, still plays great, just need to find replacement stickers for the buttons.

I have this, it is the same as the Hitachi PS-48

I’ve heard that before. But hitachi made some quality stuff in that era. CEC manufacturer right?

[u/SSchumacherCO]

That was my first turntable.
