AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A direct drive half automatic turntable from Realistic made by Technics.

Model: Realistic LAB-390 42-2967 - Radio Shack Tandy, Realistic,
Shape
Tablemodel, with any shape - general.
Dimensions (WHD)
16.875 x 5.125 x 14.75 inch / 429 x 130 x 375 mm
Price in first year of sale
169.95 $


RCA plugs.
Semi automatic.
New headshell with stylus fitted, it sounds excellent.
RPMs are checked okay.
With 45 rpm adapter

A semi-automatic turn table
This turntable has 2 speeds. The Armlift handle is located at the back right, the button for the speed l is on the right. At the end of the record, the turntable comes to a stop and the arm automatically returns to the support.

The arm is balanced by turning the counterweight at the rear.

Lab-390 has the same motor and motor drive IC (AN630U) than the SL-D2. But the arm is far from the one in the SL-D2, it is like the one in the SL-20/SL-23. I don't think there is a direct equivalence between a Technics model xx and the Lab-390, but the Lab-390 is definitively made by technics.

Signs of use edges and on the dustcover.
Pictures are part of the description.

Carefully shipped
