Vieta G100 turntable

The Vieta G100 is a classic belt-drive turntable produced during the 1970s, representing a significant period in Spanish audio engineering. It was manufactured in Spain by Industrias Cosmos specifically for the Vieta brand, which was a pioneer in the national high-fidelity market. Known for its distinct semi-automatic operation and strobe-based speed adjustment, the G100 was a mid-range staple for audiophiles in Spain.

Historically, Vieta was founded in 1954 by the Vieta brothers in Barcelona, becoming the first company in Spain to manufacture and market consumer high-fidelity equipment. Over the decades, the brand became legendary for products like the Vieta 1 system and the L'Adagio speakers, which were even exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

In the modern era, the brand has shifted its focus away from traditional Hi-Fi separates toward portable lifestyle audio products under the 'Vieta Pro' name. Currently, the brand is managed by Vieta Audio S.A., maintaining its Spanish identity and headquarters in Barcelona while distributing products globally through various electronics retailers.
