Sansui SR-222 Mk2

With Ortofon Cartridge

Finished in gorgeous piano gloss black and fitted an Ortofon FF15E MM cartridge, here is a very nice turntable ready to use when connected to the MM phono inputs of your amplifier.

The motor is smooth and silent and the belt is just fine. The bearing has been checked and lubricated, 33 & 45 speeds are spot-on accurate and stable and arm bearings and geometry are all fine.

This is in full working order but with a couple of minor cosmetic issue:

1. The acrylic cover is cracked.
2. The arm rest locking clip is broken.

Both these little issues are reflected in the price.

The following information and specifications are from the excellent vinylengine.com website:

“By combining not just one or two but a wholly balanced team of original Sansui technical achievements in the SR-222, despite its modest price, competes with even some of the most expensive manuals on the market.”
