A bit of history on this table - These turntables were made in Japan in the 1980s by NAP Consumer Electronics and marketed under at least 5 other companies including Realistic (LAB-2200), Philips (FP-1463), Lux Corporation/Luxman (P102/P-406), Marantz (TT-440) and Magnavox (FP-1463 SL01) and perhaps many more. This model was becoming a near defacto Linear Tracking Table when the bottom fell out of the vinyl album turntable market. Some had slightly different front panels some had covers that displayed the companies logo or model number to help differentiate the manufacturer or model. Prices ranged from $219 to $499!
This unit is a Magnavox/Phillips version which is essentially a near fully automatic tangential tracking or Linear tracking turntable with a low mass tonearm that supports p mount or plug in mount cartridges. The good news is that these P-Mount cartridges are easy to find and have many reasonable price points (unlike other tables like Bang and Olufsen). This unit has a brand new one installed.
The unit was shipped to Magnavox with no dust cover attached, although provisions for covers were included by NAP (Philips) as it was marketed through magnavox and sold with cabinet systems, Since the cabinets either had glass doors or glass tops that provided access to the table, the turntable was already protected from dust. Since it is a linear tracking table you can fit it into a relatively low height location as you only need about 6-8" to easily place the album on the platter. All controls are front mount so access is a dream.
Front Controls Include from left to right:
- Power Switch
- Repeat (plays disc again until deselected)
- Cuing Control - lifts/lowers tonearm
- Start and Left Tonearm Movement
- Stop and Right Tone Arm Movement
To operate- Push Power On, and then the Start button - the tonearm moves automatically to the beginning of the 1st track or song, auto selects either 33 RPM or 45 RPM and begins to play. Once the album is complete the tone arm raises and returns.
Manual Cueing Control - If you want to manually cue the record to a desired track or song location, simply push Cueing and either right or left to move the tonearm, when in the proper location hit Cuing again and you begin to play that track.
Stopping album mid play- if you want to stop just hit the Stop Button, tone arm will raise and return, unit will shut off.
Unit has been fully tested by DALAUDio and is ready to play!
