Great s/n, considering the fact the stylus is quite used. I use this unit to master my old vinyl to mp3 formats. Simple to start and stop with press of one button.

45 speed does not persist after playing a record. 33 is default, 45 must be selected before each play (if desired). Sometimes the spinout does not trigger the return of the arm -- doesn't appear to be an easy way to adjust this. This only happens on some poorly pressed albums.

The unit was given to me by a friend who was liberating his vinyl collection. I had used a Technics belt drive for years, but its polycarbonate cover was cracked. Controls are straightforward, simple. It has auto repeat cueing feature, allowing for sections of a record to be replayed. Can't say I have used it much.

Just listening to this 1987 (i think) model a friend gave me a couple of days ago. It's like brand new, but regardless I'm sure it's fairly low end, especially compared to todays turntables. That being said, not having had any turntable for years (or any decent audio equipment for that matter) I like it, especially the linear tracking arm, although I don't know if that's actually better. Hoping to get some feedback from others that might still own/use one of these.
