The original Well Tempered Turntable is an early belt-drive record player designed by William Firebaugh and sold by Well Tempered Lab in the late 1980s. Its distinctive engineering separates the motor from the main chassis and uses a highly damped multilayer MDF base. When supplied as the complete version, it included the proprietary Well Tempered tonearm, noted for its fluid-damped design. The model is a vintage product and is no longer in current manufacture.
