Re: Anyone know what this is for?
It is a stacking spindle. I think it's from either a Dual or Philips deck, both use very similar ones.

This was part of my record playing equipment in 1966! It is incredibly heavy and sports a pick up arm made of wood! Sorry about the dirty turntable mat. I had to dig it out of s small corner. J.

Definitely for a LAB80, called the 'tripoise' spindle, negating the need for an overarm.

Thank you for the replies. This has now found a home with someone on this forum who needed it for their turntable.
