Belt Drive Turntable

Made in Japan in the mid 1970’s, this model was the first of the Japanese belt drive players to be made available in the UK.

Fitted with a high quality Shure M95ED MM cartridge, with brand new replacement stylus and a new alloy head-shell with gold wire tags, this vintage belt-drive turntable is in full working order and really excellent physical condition and a real credit to its original owner (see close-up pictures). The motor is smooth and quiet, main bearing fine, arm bearings and geometry all spot-on and 33 & 45 speeds are accurate & stable. Ready to plug-and-play when connected to the MM phono input of your amplifier.
