As seen in:

Hijack

Directors: Jamie Payne, Jim Field Smith

The Reference turntable is based on the Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference Turntable (the stunning futuristic turntable on which Alex plays his beloved Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange) which was an award winning turntable designed way back in 1964 by designer/engineer David Gammon (which itself was based on his Reference turntable designed the previous year).

Transcriptors was founded in 1960 by David Gammon with his brother Anthony and was one of the world’s leading manufacturer of manual turntables, tone arms and accessories, and one of the most modern hi-fi manufacturing plants in Europe during the 60’s, 70’s and the early 80’s.

The new Reference turntable makes it’s first star appearance in the upcoming TV series Hijack starring Edris Elba.

Transcriptors’ turntables have been widely used in numerous television commercials and in many films: The Skeleton turntable was used in the X-Men: First Class (2011) and Creepshow (1982) and the Hydraulic Reference Turntable can be spotted in The Look Of Love (2013) as well as A Clockwork Orange (1972). Various turntable parts were also used in another Stanley Kubrick production, 2001 A Space Odyssey.
