For Sale: Tested and working high classic Pioneer stereo turntable. Made in Japan probably in the 1980's.
Works 100%. Includes a brand new stylus (under 5 minutes use) and a high quality Shure phone cartridge. This is a semi- auto turntable which means to play an album you move the tonearm over to the first track and lower the cuing lever. The album plays until it reaches the end where the tonearm automacitally raises, returns to holder, lowers, and powers off. Works reliabley every time, no issues. Has strobe light and the speed is rock steady. Direct drive so no belt to wear out.
Excellent sound quality with no skipping or hum. Both 33 and 45 RPM speeds working correctly. Construction includes a heavy metal base and sping loaded rubber feet. Minor cosmetic wear only, not bad. No chips or cracks in body or dust cover.

Specs from the rubber webernet:
Description
The PL-300 features Pioneer's Stable Hanging Rotor DC motor which has a non-rotating motor shaft atop which the platter/motor rotor assembly is balanced at the centre of gravity.
In systems which put the main bearing/pivot point below the whole rotating structure even the tiniest tipping of the axis of shaft and spindle is magnified to result in a slanting/wobbling of the platter something like what airplane (and spacecraft) pilots call yaw.
With ours, yaw is eliminated for out of this world stability.
