Condition & Recent Service
This unit has been recently serviced to ensure reliable, plug-and-play operation:
Mechanism Overhauled: Old hardened factory grease was thoroughly cleaned from the internal automatic gear linkage and replaced with fresh synthetic lubricant.
Cueing System Serviced: Cueing dampening fluid was replenished so the tonearm lowers smoothly and safely onto record grooves.
Speed & Contacts Cleaned: Speed selector switches and internal pots were cleaned with DeoxIT to eliminate static and ensure flawless quartz speed lock at both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM.
Tested & Calibrated: Fully bench-tested across multiple records. Auto-start, auto-return, and auto-stop functions engage cleanly and smoothly.
Key Features
Quartz-Lock Direct Drive: Brushless DC motor holds precise speed automatically—no pitch adjustment required.
Fully Automatic Operation: Start, stop, and auto-return functions allow hands-free operation from front-panel controls.
Low-Mass Straight Tonearm: Designed for excellent tracking stability and minimal warp sensitivity.
