About the B791
The Revox B791 is a vintage, quartz-controlled direct-drive turntable with a servo-electronically guided linear-tracking tonearm. It plays 33⅓ and 45 rpm records and includes pitch adjustment of ±9.9% in 0.1% steps, with a digital speed display. The platter measures 313 mm in diameter and weighs 2.1 kg; the tonearm is electronically lowered with pneumatic damping. The B791 is distinct from the related B795, notably by its adjustable pitch control. Historical sources report production in the 1980s, with one product-history listing giving 1982 as its production year.
