For some strange reason I kept saying one year later….this is TWO YEARS LATER! If you like this video please consider subscribing and giving us a thumbs up. It would really be appreciated! 😀

I scored an Orbit basic at goodwill a while ago for $20, sounds great with all my records. Great video!

I've used mine since 2019, and the only cons i'd say is that it doesn't play 78rpm and the lame belt. But other than that, I'd say it's a superb entry level turn table. I use an Ortofon 2M Blue, and the results are great! 8.5/10 rating for me. I've experienced no issues with it.

Like you, I was concerned about belt stretching when changing speeds, so I designated one belt for 33 1/3 only and another for 45. Based on your experience, I guess I didn't need to segregate the belts. After several years, I still love my Orbit!

0:02 The previous video was definitely a cool video with a lot of World War II vehicles, props, and people dressed in period outfits and military uniforms including some people portraying Generals Patton and MacArthur. It was great and more people should check it out. :)

4:10 All vinyl records are supposed to have a thicker label area to protect the surface of the playing area when the records are stacked on a changer. That's part of the design. It's only slight, but a record that doesn't have that is lacking a standard feature of the LP specifications.

I've touched everything you are not supposed too on a turntable & I can report no damage from my skin 'oils' .. we have good oils bro

That is a half inch mount. The half inch is the measurement between the the mounting screws.The removable headshell on for example on a technics uses an Sme connector.There are other connectors but that is the most common.

I love the color of that one!
I’ve had my “plus” for about 2.5 years now and I have a similar opinion. It’s attractive, simple, robust, sounds really great, and is easy on the vinyl.
But I do dislike the cheapo hinges, permanent plastic headshell and most of all absolutely hate that weak temperamental belt!
I have to use a couple of pieces of scotch tape on it while changing belts or replacing it if it falls off.
This video demonstrated pretty well how problematic messing with that belt is.
A weak link in an otherwise awesome turntable.

Love your videos man. That UV is over the top.
Wow. 👍

[Trance]

I almost ordered a new U-Turn orbit a couple years ago. I love all the different colors you can get.

[morlandvincent]

Thank you very much for the vidéo i love it with you we can know before buying it

[SlambosCarofIdiots]

If they had a model that could also do 78s, with interchangeable headshells so I can have the correct stylus ready for 78 vs. microgroove, then I might consider it.

[KarlUppianoKarlU]

If they're using a synchronous AC motor off the power line frequency, it can only spin at one speed. The only way to change the turntable speed will be by changing pulleys. The only other option is to use a two speed DC motor (likely to be less accurate), or a synchronous AC motor with a locally generated AC timebase. That is likely to be much more complex and expensive. I believe the theme for this turntable is meant to be simplicity. It works. How frequently do most people switch between 33 and 45? I have lots of 45s, and I don't switch that often.

Record ology join your U_Turn Orbit Record player I like the color of the record player purple that my favorite color is so awesome

[stevenj]

That looks like a reasonable choice for entry level. One could have a problem fussing to change the cartridge and align.

Have other table with acrylic platter and it is similarly flush. The belt also wraps around (being 36 or 36.1 in) platter, but it has more usual rectangular profile. it is on a small brass(?) cog and electronic servo control so a switch changes speed.

[leesmillarddesign]

So, if I were starting out collecting and playing vinyl and I only intend to play vinyl every so often for nostalgic purposes, which would you recommend? I've narrowed my choices down to an Orbit Custom w/MDF platter and standard AT91B cartridge (if I were building my own) or the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB? TIA!

[masudashizue]

Much to like and a few things to dislike about this turntable. If here was an option for a metal spindle I would choose it.
