There are two main types of turntables available one is the belt-drive turntable and other which we will study is the direct-drive turntable. These turntables the belt-drive as well as the direct-drive is named after the drive motor used to operate them. Both types of turntables are used for playing 12” and 7” vinyl disc records. Technically, in a direct drive turntable the motor is located directly under the center of the platter and is connected to the platter directly. The first commercially available direct-drive turntable, the model SP-10, was introduced by the Technics division of Matsushita in 1969.
