We're having a deja vu moment here as we bring you another Hitachi PS-48 turntable. This is a great table, well made, heavy, great arm and more importantly its sounds great!
It's a direct drive, semi-automatic, 2-speed turntable, big rubber feet for dampening and featuring Hitachi's uni-torque motor. The plinth is wood and wrapped in rosewood vinyl finish. Add a smoked dustcover and you get a classy looking turntable.
It's been freshly serviced and comes with a brand new Audio Technica AT-3600 cartridge that has been aligned and ready to play. Also has a nifty headshell that makes alignment a breeze as the finger lift acts as a slider. It's pretty cool.
Lots of information on the internet: http://www.vinylengine.com/library/hitachi/ps-48.shtml
Everyone knows I have a soft spot for Hitachi as they're well made, underrated, and they make great audio equipment. This turntable, however, was probably made by CEC, who is a huge OEM Japanese company, which still exist today. They have made tons of turntable for various companies such as Marantz. But, this was designed to Hitachi's specifications.
Overall, it's a great table and in very good condition and ready to give its new owner a lifetime of music!
