Pioneer PL-512 Manual Turntable

This is your classic, basic-basic, full manual turntable. Very dependable and easy to maintain, very little can go wrong with these. The PL-5xx series have an extremely durable motor that are considered better then very high-end machines.

Cleaned, lubed and serviced, balanced and aligned, this turntable is plug and play ready! New belt installed, tracks perfectly from start to finish and the motor spins dead on accurate at 45 or 33 1/3 RPM. This slab model has a solid wood plinth to assure little to no resonance. Acutex M207IIE cartridge and stylus included, tested good and tracks perfectly.

The finish is near new with no delamination. Complete with dustcover polished to a beautiful patina, has a small crack near left side hinge, nearly invisible (see pic). New replacement feet installed to restore the base suspension and assure no foot fall issues.

This is a great turntable for the first timer or experienced audiophile. You won't find a comparable new turntable for twice the money!
