Tested and working reliable classic Realistic turntable. Made in England by BSR probably in mid 1970's.Includes a high quality Shure M75CS cartridge and a BRAND NEW stylus/needle. Copy of receipt for needle is available. I tested for a few minutes with the new needle to make sure it's working OK. Turntable works 100%, sound quality is excellent, no skipping, no hum, no problems. It's a fully automatic turntable which means you can load up a few albums, press start, and it will automatically play then one after another and shut down when last one has played. Mechanics worked correctly every single time during testing. Can also be used in manual mode. Works on 33, 45, and 78 RPM. Can autostart on 7", 10", or 12" records.
Shows some cosmetic wear- front is missing an emblem or decal. Dust cover is original but in poor shape, has a couple cracks and some tape on the front. Still does a pretty good job protecting the turntable and records. A set of good quality RCA cables is included. There is no masonite bottom cover like these usually come with.
The Realistic LAB-12B is loaded with features that count including adjustable tracking force, viscous-damped downward cueing and AC pop-filter.
The unit has automatic, semi-automatic, manual and repeat-play operation.
Includes a factory mounted base with walnut trim finish.
Custom made in England for Radio Shack.
