Other forms: turntables
A turntable is an old-fashioned device for listening to music — it's the part of a record player that revolves, turning the record as a needle rests on it.
You can use the word turntable interchangeably with "record player" or "phonograph." If you want to listen to LPs, those large, flat discs that store sound recordings in their grooves, you're going to need a turntable. This meaning has been around since the early 20th century. Before that, a turntable was a round, revolving platform used in train yards for turning a railroad car.
