About the 940
The BIC 940 is a vintage multiple play manual turntable from 1975, representing advanced engineering for its time with automatic multiple record playing capabilities on a belt-driven system. It features a 24-pole synchronous motor for precise speed stability across 33 and 45 RPM, low rumble, wow, and flutter. The tonearm includes minimal friction bearings, low mass design, resonance control, precise stylus force, and an isolated counterweight for optimal tracking across multiple records. It supports standard 1/2-inch mount cartridges and is CD-4 compatible due to low cable capacitance (<125pF). Equipped with two spindles for manual single play or stacking up to 6 records (7" or 12"), and a pivotable cartridge shell for easy installation. Commonly found with Shure Hi-Track N91 cartridge in restored units. No longer manufactured, popular in vintage HiFi circles for reliability despite age-related repair needs like mechanism cleaning.[4][14]
