This record player was built in 1976 (10 units) and never got beyond prototype status.
Infinity has also built a very unusual turntable. The turntable has an air bearing tonearm system, whereby the actual tonearm belongs to the genus of tangential turntables. This is because the tonearm consists of two tubes, one inside the other, which are supported by an air cushion, so that the inner tube is linear and works like a tangential tonearm. This construction is quite extraordinary. It also requires a corresponding compressor for operation, which constantly provides a certain air pressure.
