While reorganizing my garage to make room for #6007 early 2016, I moved my vintage Oasis Turntable into the house. The platter floats on water... It's been stored since 1990 and I began the restoration last September after finding out how rare it is. One of probably four in the world, featured in the November 1978 issue of Playboy and it won 1978 CES product of the year.. then everything burned up......
I brought the table home from Gig Harbor Audio in the Pantera last Saturday and am loving spinning my vinyl collection for the first time in almost 27 years... Seemed proper to play Motley Crue's first album, Too Fast for Love. I was a big fan before they we're even signed while living off Sunset strip during most of the 80's. The Oasis, Motley Crue and the Pantera are now all connected... Some may know that Vince Neil served time for manslaughter after he crashed his 1972 Pantera in Manhattan Beach in 1984 and killed Razzle, the drummer from Hanoi Rocks.
