We've always enjoyed Hitachi gear and this is no exception. This was Hitachi TOTL consumer turntable back in the day in the mid 1970s. And, is one heck of a turntable. This turntable is in fabulous condition. The only small flaw is stenciling of the "E" on Repeat is missing. Other than that, this is beautiful looking turntable. Probably one of the sharpest looking turntable of the era. It has that two tone plinth, the top being that lovely brushed metal and the bottom half being that wood look, vinyl wrapped, but real wood underneath. It also has a smoked dust cover to give it that additional classy look!
It has a high stability tonearm and the unitorque motor that delivers a smooth, quiet and stable rotation for low wow and rumble. This is a 2-speed, direct drive, fully automatic turntable with repeat. It's been freshly serviced and was part of a member's private collection. It truly looks better in person.
It comes with the ever famous Shure M91ED cartridge with a new stylus as well an additional Hitachi headshell.
It also has plenty of other features, such as manual mode (basically, semi-automatic) with a disc selector size. Apparently, no one has a 10" record so that can't be tested, haha.
It is really well built. I would assume this too is a C.E.C. made turntable as all the Hitachi PS-48 and the like were. So, I will assume this too is a C.E.C. made. It has very good weight, good size motor and heavy duty rubber feet for isolation. It's a well engineered piece of audio equipment!
Overall, this is an excellent turntable and comes with an excellent cartridge. It looks great, plays great and is now looking for a new home!
