The turntable includes a disk dispenser to dispenser disks through the turntable opening. Rotation of the turntable enables the elevator pin to catch disks dispensed from the disk dispenser. The elevator pin lowers dispensed disks away from the turntable to a recorder, for example, which writes data to the disk. The elevator pin lifts the disk back to the turntable.
