ORT,

Might be a very fine deck. Or not.

I would go for the Kuzma at that price for its wood finish and superior tonearm.

From a somewhat ORTish point of view I think this ‘table will either turn people away, turn their stomachs or both.

They should rename it to “Locutus” which is ancient Latin for “Spoke”. Might I also suggest a surname for this…this, thing?

Locutus alvum motus. Why? Because…Turpis ut patera alvum motus.

Of course one could make the argument that since I do not possess either a sense of smell or taste I am in no position to criticize this pile of doody.

I know what those with even a modicum of a sense of humor are thinking.

“That’s Latin, darlin’, evidently Mr. RingORT here’s an educated man. Now I really hate him.”

Talk about acutus locutus.
