For Sale: Tested and working direct drive turntable with high quality Grado ZF 8? phono cartridge, good stylus. Made in Japan.
Working 100% with excellent sound quality. No skipping or hum. Includes 45 RPM adapter. Speed is rock steady on both 33 and 45 RPM as shown by the working strobe indicator. Fully automatic which means to play a record just choose the speed and press the start button. The platter starts spinning, the tonearm raises, moves over to the first track of the 45 or LP, slowly lowers, and begins to play. At the end of record the tonearm raises, moves back to holder, lowers, then powers off. Unless the repeat switch is On in which case it repeats forever.
This has detectors on the platter that can tell if a 45 record is in place or an LP record. This allows it to move to the correct place without need to change any settings. Works correctly every time.
Here is demo video showing working condition, auto size selection on 45s and LPS: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C0q-3XybVmmUKcbdeUXDbbkdMMN3rYhf/view?usp=sharing
I've added some high quality RCA cables and made a semi-permanent attachment for ground wire. Overall very little wear. Dust cover shows no apparent chips or cracks, hinges work correctly, minor surface wear.
