AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic turntable from Philips/Aristona from 1974 with the 3 green eyes (touch buttons).
Perfectly working, sounding and looking!

This is the first generation, with the solid reliable main switch, separate power cord and chrome dustcover lever which is a nice detail.

Original condition.
With;

New capicitor and voltage regulator
New belt
All rpm’s set right
Motor oiled
All new lamps
End stop set right
Headshell contacts cleaned
The new stylus sounds very good.
Dustcover polished, but has some little scratches and discoloration
Platter leveled out.
Amazingly sounding original GP400 cartridge

Photos are part of the description.

Carefully shipped with transport screws and weight next to the player.
With rca-din adapter cable.

Philips introduced the GA212 in 1971 and it was produced until 1976.
It also has very loose suspension on both the platter and arm. These are mounted in a “floating” sub chassis, which results in a very low rumble value.

Speeds: 33 and 45RPM
Size WxHxD: 39x14x34 cm
Weight: 7 kg
Voltage rating: 110, 127, 220 or 240 V AC switchable, 5 W, 50 Hz
Rumble: less than -62 dB (DIN B)
