Remarks[edit]

It can be said that the BL-77 is a copy of the BL-51 and BL-71. The operation is identical to the smaller models. However, due to the "free" choice of cartridge and the heavier weight of the platter, the BL-77 is rated higher than the BL-51 and BL-71. The platter bearing is designed to be stronger than on the larger BL-91 model.
