Found a Sherwood linear tracking turntable for the studio office. Regular turntable skips due to bouncy floor, and drums and people hopping around hahaha. This one isn't perfect, auto start drops the needle past the start point so arrow over and push cue. Good from there. Brand new needle and cartridge.
Looked at some other more vintage Sherwood receivers since looking at this mismatch bothers me a little. I do miss the old warmly lit old sckool ones with the meters banging. But, this one's 100 watts per channel X4 through some towers up front and high end bookshelfs behind my desk.
Most importantly, this handles my TV, Roku, Blueray/CD, Joey, all with the dish remote at my desk. Decided not to give that functionality up for a cooler looking vintage rig, likely pushing less air. Most of the other Sherwoods are <50 watts per channel, but tubes are definitely a louder 50 watts.
The traditional turntables are in the living room.. Top one for play, bottom one is working but mostly just saving for parts/spare. Tried it in the office studio then found the Sherwood worked better in that venue.
