The vinyl record player is made in England by Sundown Electronic Engineering, Ltd. (S.E.E.). The unit is in perfect technical and cosmetic condition.
The body of the player is a combination of two sheets of MDF, mechanically separated from each other by two rigid strips of foamed neoprene. They run tangentially to the groove of the record, along the cartridge console. This design had real advantages. It provided an additional degree of decoupling between the body and the base. The smaller upper part of the Revolver plinth held the motor, main bearing, disc and tonearm, while the slightly larger lower part held the feet - the first barrier to unwanted vibrations spreading to the deck from the base. While most available turntables without a suspended chassis relied on flexible rubber feet to reduce external vibrations, the Revolver's two-tier base provided additional vibration protection. The device uses a Saia synchronous AC motor. The kit includes a rubber record clamp, which also received its own name - The Pig (Precision Instant Grip).
The player is equipped with a precision Revolver tonearm and a new Philips 400 cartridge. The tonearm has anti-skating adjustment, height (VTA angle) and head load.
