It's a very quiet night. Not a soul around. I had just finished  
talking to my daughter in Texas. (I'm in Pa.). I decided to listen to  
some music, on vinyl. My living room was dark. Near the end of the  
record I stood and went to see how soon I would have to lift the  
stylus. As I looked down at the turntable it struck me. What a thing  
of beauty. And made on three different continents. It deserves to be  
photographed. So here it is.

Here's the scoop.

The turntable is an Oracle made in Canada.
The tonearm is a SME IV.Vi made in the UK.
The cartridge is a Koetsu Urushi made in Japan.

The music is an American classic "Cosmo's Factory" by Creedence  
Clearwater Revival.

For you technicians.

Leica M8 and Noctilux at f1, ISO 1250 handheld at 1/6 sec. at a very  
close distance. The music was playing during the shot.

I wish you all could listen to the record.

Oh, all the electronics are tube (valve) made in Minnesota. The  
speakers are made by Danish craftsmen. Beautiful to see and to listen  
to.
