AR was a classic turntable, one of the best selling ever. The design was copied by Linn some years later, but with a marketing story and a markup. They make wonderful platforms for building a very high performance belt drive table on a tight budget. Because there were so many of them made and they were in production for so long, they're pretty easy to find.
It had a few names over the years. AR, AR XA, and probably a few others. All were "AR," and all AR tts were basically the same- newer ones looked a little slicker and had better arms, but the table part was essentially the same. Last one I got was an AR XA- a few minutes with a milling machine and it was all set for a Grace 707 II arm, which worked beautifully on it. Total cost was under $200.
