The Temporary Soundmuseum Portable Turntables Collection

This morning, while I was wasting time hard at work, I came across The Temporary Soundmuseum Portable Turntables Collection. It's a fun website that features "vinyl culture & sound art". There's a manifesto that's in German, but the basic idea seems to be that "With the fall of the Vinyls disappears also a special part of our culture" (translation by Babel Fish.)

The site doesn't tell us anything about the turntables; just the names and some nice photos. I think they're great fun to look at. Make sure you have a look at the rest of the site.

Here are a few more turntables from the collection:
