oo yeah! I've got some conical systems too, the kitchy-fun ones that hold multiple records, and some even have vacuum tubes ^V^
I was speaking specifically of audiophile-hi-fi specs.. but yeah, I do have some older stuff I have found at garage sales and gotten from parents, etc... but I don't put any of my valued records on those.

Glad to hear you see the potential of altering the counter-weight etc of the tone arm if so desired. *starts clapping and stomping to the 1954 recordings of the Havana-Gila Monster* ^V^

Have a great transfer!
