A Turntable for Lefties?
Reversed image of a turntable in CE Pro magazine prompts a hilarious letter to the editor.
Reader: “My daughter is left-handed and I have been searching for years for a left-handed turntable to give to her.”
Sometimes at CE Pro we take some artistic liberties to make our magazine look good.
In this case, we inverted the image of a turntable to fit the design of our special section on high-end audio. Seemed like a harmless move, right? It was just a tiny portion of the turntable stylus, shown for drama.
But a couple of dealers (seriously, only two) called us out on it. This "long-time reader" wrote us with one of the more hilarious comments we've ever received on a CE Pro article.
Well played, sir!

I am hoping you have solved a life-long problem for me. My daughter is left-handed and I have been searching for years for a left-handed turntable to give to her. As you have pictured one in the article (and on the contents page), I am hoping you can tell me where to buy one;-) Probably could also use a source for left-handed records.
Well played, sir!
