I grew up with the Jumbo Jet as our home stereo and, unbelievably, an Accutrac turntable as well. Dad was an engineer and loved bizarro audio stuff. I played a Matsumoku Les Paul into the reciever, it was my first amp. Good times!

We didn't see where Columbo turned around before he left and said "one more thing....who's your audio guy?"

I've always believed the number of times "Hugo Montenegro's Greatest Hits" is heard through a pair of Allegros directly correlates with a person's propensity towards becoming a serial killer.

My dad bought a Jumbo Jet new in Thailand. It was the stereo I was raised with, and still works but one channel is sorta iffy. It still sits on the top shelf of his audio stand. They sound just fine, but he uses a simple little Yamaha CR something now. <br><br>As a kid, I’d use it to make hiphop beats in the 80s and me and the cousins would rap over them, like karaoke. It was such a cool thing for kids. Dad never had an issue with us playing with it. It started my love of audio gear. Thanks for covering this unit - it’s a great memory machine.

Two words. Technics Sl-ql15. I just fixed one and it's sitting in my living room right now. Has the track programming and is direct drive, full auto and a linear tracker. Great table but 5-10 years after the 4000. The programme feature is super cool. Happily the problems with mine were mechanical.<br>Seemingly in that Columbo episode the killer programmed the table to play the cannons of the 1812 overture to cover up a gunshot.<br>As for vertical linear trackers, I also own a Technics SL7 which usually sits on its stands at 45 degrees, but can play vertically and even, I'm told, upside down. I'm not brave enough to try that. It is also just the size of a record and built like a tank. Even heavier than it's sibling the SL-10. I've become kinda obsessed with these 80s linear trackers and now have three. They are great tables. Vinyl without the pissing about.
