I purchased this for the princely sum of $14 last week at an auction. It was labeled as a “custom turntable” It’s 30” long, the sides appear to be 4 separate pieces of aluminum (or some non magnetic pot metal) screwed to a plywood deck.
Underneath is an indexing solenoid with detents about every 1/4 inch. You can also see where the motor would have resided. It’s quite heavy, and appears to be a kit, or machined by a pro. Any ideas?
Thanks...
Tom

What pictures you post show the bridge segment of a turntable which was made by RWM Manufacturing Co in Pottstown, PA. in the early 1970's. Mr Mensch adapted an Alliance Antenna Rotor to turn the table. I bought mine at York in 1973 and have the installation and wiring instructions if you want to have more information. It's always worked terrifically.

Thanks for the info HOLD*ON, very informative & quite interesting. It never made it far from home, the auction where I purchased it was about a mile from Pottstown, PA!
I’d love to have any information you have on it, especially the installation and wiring instructions.
Thanks again!

$14? Now that's a bargain for the record books. Very nice.
