But, I gotta say, I'd really like to know what a "transmission turntable" is?

I saw that too. I bet that is what becomes of "transcription turntable" after rattling around inside Mel's cranium for a couple of decades.

In the early days of radio , the radio engineers used disk for recording rather than tape.
The turntabes were rather large 16 inch tables ,with 16 inch arms. The term "by transcripton" was used to describe how the program was broadcast. The playback was done on 16" transmission turntables using 16" tone arms.


The early turntables used the name transcription turntable although the tables was now 12 inches as a sign of quality and durability . Fairchild an outstanding turntable of the 50's and early 60's used the term" Farchild Transmission Turntable" , so did Empire , Rek-O-Kut and Thorens.
There was 16 inch arms and 16 inch tables for sale.

Probably not. When I Googled "transmission turntable," I get nothing. On the entire Internet, I can find no other reference to a "transmission turntable" other than your post. On the other hand, I get thousands of hits for "transcription turntable" including the Rek-O-Kut and Thorens.

Why don't you come over to my house? I got a 16 inch arm to show you.

Probably not. When I Googled "transmission turntable," I get nothing.

That's because he meant "transcription" (as you indicated).

It's too bad you didn't know that when you wer posting that one.

Point us to any link on the Internet that refers to a "Transmission Turntable", besides one of your bogus posts here.

If not, that's just further proof that you're talking about things you can't comprehend and you're not man enough to admit it..

Well, surprise, surpise.

I was in error the word was transcription not transmission. Shut down your computer for a while and read some books. There are several publications covering the history of Audio !

Most young Americans know very little American history , political science ,and world history. Most young Americans are having problems locating different countries on a map.
Most Young American know little are nothing about the United States Constitution.

When I was on radio I carried the United States Constitution with me. Most callers didn't know the meaning of impeachment. Are could identify the third in line to the presidency.
I blame much of that on the computer. We simply don't read as many books as we did in the past. Instead if we want an answer we turn to a computer , fast answer , no in depth
information.

Fine, you made a mistake and confused the words. But, what makes you a pompous windbag is that you tried to correct the error by continuing in your mistaken position by coming up with some bogus distinction between transcription and transmission.

See, as a young American with a Honors degree in History, I am able to recall words correctly, such as transcription.

You know, there are quite few Ph.Ds, MDs, MBAs and JDs surfing around this site. Half to the members that you have so flippantly dismissed have advanced degrees. Of the four degrees I just listed, guess which one I have... go on, I'll give you four guesses. That way you'll be sure to get it right, eventually.

But, remember, even with all my fancy book learnin', I'm not above drinking High Life, wearing Carhartt, watching NASCAR, and using loose language, such as "douchebag."

[SlumpBuster]

Oh, and second in line is Speaker of the House third is president of the Senate.. knowing that doesn't make you smart or well read.

Kudos to finally owning up to this. Negative kudos for trying to alibi your way out of it by bluffing in a previous post.

My knowledge of audio history isn't an issue here. Yours is. You might want to brush up on audio history as well before posting erronous "facts"

Most young Americans know very little American history , political science ,and world history. Most young Americans are having problems locating different countries on a map. Most Young American know little are nothing about the United States Constitution.

Well, post that on a site where it'll do some good. Burt remember, there'sa lot more history for them to learn than when you were in school.

So, we're now dealing with Melvin walker, the radio pundit.

Since you now bring up your radio career as a badge of your authority. What name did you use on the radio, and when and from where was it broadcast?

This might serve to bolster your cerdibility here, which is sort of on the wane.

I

blame much of that on the computer. We simply don't read as many books as we did in the past. Instead if we want an answer we turn to a computer , fast answer , no in depth information.

As you've so aptly proven, but it can be a useful tool if implemented properly.

Well that makes sense. Was it the same copy that George Washington gave you when you were in your twenties? Or did you later donate that one to the historical society, and just carry around the pocket version?

BTW I can only imagine how captivating your radio show must have been. Sorta like Rush Limbaugh, only more angry, less articulate, and even shorter on facts.

Now, please excuse me. I have to get back to reading. Got a midterm coming up this afternoon in my Saturday MBA class.

You read !!! With that creepy audio system you have , I would have never guessed.
I enjoy Mr. Limbaugh , the most successful radio talk show host in the U.S.A. !
Never met old George , but it would have been my pleasure.

Very popular radio talk show. One of my many hobbies. It is people like you I enjoyed the most. MBA , good luck,

I don't belive that anyone has ever referred to my, or any other a/v setup as "creepy". I'll take it as a compliment, as it came from you.

Again, what was the name of your little radio program? And what were the call letters of the station. A man of your stature certainly wouldn't mind telling all of us about it.

I'm not really suprised you enjoy Mr. Limbaugh, the drug addled weasel that he is. Why exactly was he on that plane with 5 other guys and a suitcase of Viagra again?

So again, what exactly was your station?

Though I don't particularly like, or agree with, Al Franken, his book's title says it all:

Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.

How anyone could admit to "enjoying" this fact-distorting, fat braggard is beyond me. Whatever credibiltiy (however small) you may have had before, Sir Melvin, is now lost forever.

Dont even try to talk sense with this markw character.
I think the "w " stands for whackjob.
And its not the computer that makes a lot of modern Americans spoiled brats, like our good markw here, they werent taught any manners growing up, is all

[pixelthis]

And I KNOW THAT ITS NOT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, I have heard about transcription turntables, but most have a mechanism for changing the speed, so technically almost all turntables have transmissons

[markw]

First. pixie talking about manners. that's like a priest talking about being married.

Next. he tries to justify the use of ""transmission" in reference to a turntable thereby assuring his title of one of the densest participants on this forum.

Pixie circles.. he bends, and, yes. he plants a kiss firmly on mel's butt! Get a room, you two.

But, all in all, a match made in heaven.

heh heh heh...
