Micro Seiki DD-24 Turntable

It's been awhile since we updated the blog.  But, winter is finally gone and looks like everyone is getting back into gear to do a bit of spring cleaning! I've only come across a couple of Micro Seiki turntables and only been inside of one.  So, I was quite curious about this one.  Clearly, it's probably from the late 70s to the early 80s and this one seems to be the first generation or so as the DD-24S is equipped with a low mass straight tone arm over the standard S-shaped arm.  Regardless of the different tone arms both are probably the same, internally. However, the S-shaped tonearm does offer a bit more flexibility with cartridges, well at least these days.  The counter weight is also adjustable which is an excellent feature. Inside, everything was neatly laid out, I can see a nice big direct drive motor, which is a good sign.  Simplistic, auto return mechanism, which is another huge plus and a feature I haven't seen much on Japanese made turntab...
