I'm still hunting for the table. Turns out the one I knew was in Mom's attic
and almost never used, well it's a victim of time and Mom's attic. All the
rubber parts are shot, even the turntable mat has developed a bad dry rot! I
can deal with friction tires, but finding a turntable mat that looks right
doesn't sound like an easy task.
BTW, I think that was the SL-95b. Definitely a Synchro-Lab.
