And the Band Begins to Play...: Pro-Ject Yellow Submarine Turntable Pays Tribute to the Beatles with Unique Design and Fully Functioning Capabilities
Suffice it to say no other turntable in the world looks like the Pro-Ject Beatles Yellow Submarine model. Clearly inspired by the Beatles’ album and film of the same name, this unique and playful ‘table features the signature yellow submarine and the pop-art details — down to the periscopes — that help make it iconic. While you might just want to display it, this belt-driven turntable is a fully functioning entry-level high-end unit courtesy of a synchronous motor, MDF chassis, S-shaped aluminum tonearm, vibration-absorbing feet, and glass platter. Gold-plated contacts and a supplied Pick It Sonar cartridge with an integrated headshell help complete a European-made work of art that plays 33 and 45RPM LPs and, more importantly, pays lasting tribute to the Fab Four.
