Note that I’m just using my experience with them as my info in this, and that the two of them are about 50 or 60 years old. I’m writing this as a guide to anyone looking to buy one of these two types. Overall just saying that you should not make the investment to get a new one, you can find some pre...

The first model 5 looks sort of like a Darley STH-10 (search it up its very jarring)

Does the city putting it in have an ability to change the speed of the disc when buying it from FS? Just like the rotator speed options on the Thunderbolt?
