Description from the seller

The linear tracking arm of the PS-LX500 is designed to duplicate the movement of the head which cuts the record master.

Compared with a pivoted arm, a linear tracking arm has a very small tracking error (with greatly reduced harmonic distortion) and almost no pressure on the inside wall of the groove, which means improved tracking ability and channel separation.

The arm transport buttons allow you to move the tonearm easily over the desired point of the record with the dust cover closed.

Start/stop of the record play and tonearm up/down can also be controlled using the buttons on the front panel.

Using the optional RM-44 remote controller, start/stop play and tonearm up/down can be remotely controlled.

Specifications:

Platter: 300mm aluminium alloy die-cast
Motor: linear torque BSL motor
Drive method: direct drive
Control system: FG servo control
Speeds: 33 and 45rpm
Wow and flutter: 0.035% wrms
Signal to noise ratio: 75dB
Automatic system: lead-in, return, reject, repeat, arm up/down, record size
Tonearm: linear tracking
Effective length: 75mm
Dimensions: 430 x 95 x 365mm
Weight: 5.0kg

Very good sounding original hifi stylus.

New arm drive belt.

The automatic size detecton doesn't work with colored vinyl. Therefore you can re-position the mat. So it always start at 12" size.

Carefully shipped!
