Stanton 8005M
Surviving information on the Stanton 8005M is thin — so thin that even its basic form isn't confirmed in the record that's reached the Archive. The one solid trace is an equipment-listing entry in High Fidelity (1980, p.119): the model appears there as an "800,5M/881S" combination — presumably the 8005M coupled with Stanton's 881S pickup — at a listed price of $45, under a "fully automatic" type designation. Whether that fully-automatic note describes the Stanton piece itself or a turntable in the same listing can't be recovered from the surviving page.
No specifications — tracking force, stylus type, output, frequency response — and no service literature or owner reports for the 8005M have surfaced. If you own one, or have a period brochure that pins down what it actually is, the Archive would like to hear from you.
