Welcome and Foreword

Hello and welcome to my Reverb Shop!

Thank you for your interest in this listing. Every instrument I offer comes from my private collection and is treated with great care and respect. Each instrument is thoroughly checked and tested to ensure full functionality and excellent condition. Before any instrument is listed for sale, it goes through a professional multi-stage inspection by our technician. Only after successfully passing all functional and visual checks is it approved for listing.

I am aware that my prices may be above average, but this reflects my commitment to transparency, careful preparation, and customer satisfaction. Packaging alone takes 2–4 hours, with multiple layers of protection to ensure safe and worry-free transport. Quality — both of the instruments and my work — is my top priority. I am always available to answer questions and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Enjoy reading the description.

🎹 Information about the Item for Sale

I am offering an absolute masterpiece of professional German audio engineering: a fully equipped, legendary EMT 938 Broadcast Studio Turntable. Developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Wilhelm Franz EMT, the 938 was built without compromise for radio stations and studio environments where absolute precision, 24/7 reliability, and heavy-duty performance were mandatory.

Unlike standard consumer decks, this is a complete, professional broadcast station setup:

• Console: The unit comes beautifully integrated into its heavy-duty, original gray studio console/chassis, giving it the perfect working height and unmatched stability.
• EMT 929 Tonearm & TSD 25 Tondose: Equipped with the legendary, ultra-precise 9-inch EMT 929 tonearm. It holds the iconic EMT TSD 25 Tondose (moving coil cartridge), world-renowned for its phenomenal tracking accuracy, deep soundstage, and broadcast-grade musicality.
• Integrated Monitor Speaker : This specific unit features the integrated cueing speaker with its dedicated volume knob on the left control deck, allowing you to preview or cue tracks directly from the console without routing through a main mixer.

Technically, this EMT 938 is in pristine operational condition. The heavy, direct-drive motor spins up to perfect quartz-locked speed instantaneously, and the built-in professional phono preamplifier sounds absolutely breathtaking. All switches (including the iconic green and red broadcast buttons), potentiometers, and the internal monitor speaker function flawlessly. Optically, the machine is exceptionally clean and well-preserved, showcasing that authoritative, industrial "radio studio" presence perfectly.

Please note: This listing includes the complete EMT 938 turntable integrated into its original console, the EMT 929 tonearm, the TSD 25 Tondose, and the power connection.
