You're right, Ellis.  It's the CVS-16, not 14.  And I see the not-great wow
and flutter spec.  I haven't noticed that because I use it only for 78's.

Looking at the wow and flutter specs for the Technics SL-1600, it says it
is .025 (the SL-1200 is .01).  Other than this, I wonder why the SL-1200
models are so preferred over the SL-1600 models?

Best,
John Haley
