AR the Turntable
1984-198?
The beginning of the “modern” series. This style has the tonearm mounted on an armboard that has a crescent shape in front and round in the rear. Same essential shape and dimensions as an ES-1. Many assume that the ES-1 designation came later to differentiate the upgrades with that model.
