Record stand, to go off set of figures (9)
I believe the answer is:
turntable
'record stand' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'go off set of figures' is the wordplay.
'go off' becomes 'turn' (both can mean to start to rot).
'set of figures' becomes 'table' (as in a table of statistics).
'turn'+'table'='TURNTABLE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turntable that I've seen before include "Rotating platform" , "On which a railway engine or a record spins" , "Revolving platform" , "For records" , "Old record-holder" .)
