Description
1970s Panasonic PL-550 Direct Drive Quartz Controlled Turntable.- Used but excellent: runs perfectly. A very high quality unit that I have owned since new and have carefully brought it with me through several Marine Corps postings all of these years.
- Has all of the original tone arm controls/weights plus the original 45 RPM adapter.
- Includes a somewhat low-priced but good stylus by Audio Technica - not sure which model
- As might be expected, the vinyl veneer is scratched in places and some edges are separating and the clear cover has some light scratches and a 1.5 inch crack near one hinge.
- These are highly prized by audio afficionados for their precision and superb sound:
