AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb belt-driven turntable by Sony, model TTS-3000. It was actually this professional model from the mid-1960s that launched Sony into the upper end of the turntable market. The turntable is mounted on a satin walnut plinth. The arm is by Fidelity Research, model FR-54. The cartridge is from Nagaoka, model 87-39 MKII.
Complete set I in beautiful condition! Prior to this auction, I installed a new belt, so the turntable is ready to go.
The turntable is multi-voltage, so it can be adjusted to your local requirements (currently set at 230V).
Description
The TTS3000 employs a slow-speed servo-controlled motor to drive the platter.
The use of a slow speed (300rpm) motor eliminates much of the noise and rumble that originates in mechanical speed-reducing systems.
This unique servo system effectively compares motor speed with a very stable frequency reference.
Any error in motor speed results in a correction in the current supplied to the motor.
The speed reference is entirely independent of outside influence, and line frequency is only used to power the strobe light.
Specifications
Speeds: 33 1/3 and 45 rpm
Speed control range: ±5%
Start-up time: within one second
Wow and flutter: less than 0.05% WRMS
Signal to noise ratio: greater than 60dB.

Platter: 12 inch 3 lb 5 oz die-cast aluminium.
