The Zero 100 is most notable for having a parallel tracking tonearm, which in theory should eliminate any tracking errors as the headshell is always tangential to the sound groove. A month and $80 in parts later (not to mention several hours of labour) I now have a fully functional, state of the art British turntable from the early 70's. After rummaging through my car I managed to rustle up approximately $9.35, which he accepted and then ushered me out of his front porch with a very crusty, dirty old turntable. We originally had agreed on $20 but when I arrived he seemed determined to haggle me down to $10, and I was more than happy to oblige him. It was listed on Craigslist without a specified price, so I emailed said chap and drove down from Indianapolis to pick it up. About a month ago I purchased a 1971 Garrard Zero 100 turntable from a chap in Bloomington (where the Indiana University campus is located).
