Hi guys! Anyone here who has (or had) a Braun PS-1000 Turntable? It says in lencoheaven that it's an "idler wheel-belt drive" turntable. Seems rare and quite heavy. Thanks!

Braun products are sought after by Dieter Rams collectors.

Thanks sir! I have posted a picture above. Apparently the PS-1000 is a higher model vs. your PS-500. While the PS-500 is considered rare, the PS-1000 is "more rare" and elusive
Wondering how does it perform compared w/ Lenco and Garrard?

It's a good turntable probably better classified with suspended belt drives like an AR or Thorens TD150/TD160. When I got it many years ago, I compared it to a Bogen B60/Lenco L70 and Rek O Kut L34/L37with ROK arm (all in stock plinths) and IMO the Braun was outclassed.
It will also be a major task to fit another tonearm to the Braun.
