A turntable is a modern [[phonograph]], also known as a record player or record machine. They are a popular machine commonly used by [[DJ|Disc Jockeys]]. Turntables are distinguished from older phonographs by the fact that they have electrical pickups instead of a purely mechanical one. 

[b]Note:[/b] If a phonograph is basically flat and has a mobile arm, it's probably a turntable. If it has a cone, or a tube-style fixed arm, it isn't.
