Description from the seller
Pioneer PL-300 - Auto-Return Direct-Drive Turntable (1979-1980)
Description
The PL-300 features Pioneer's Stable Hanging Rotor DC motor which has a non-rotating motor shaft atop which the platter/motor rotor assembly is balanced at the centre of gravity.
In systems which put the main bearing/pivot point below the whole rotating structure even the tiniest tipping of the axis of shaft and spindle is magnified to result in a slanting/wobbling of the platter something like what airplane (and spacecraft) pilots call yaw.
With ours, yaw is eliminated for out of this world stability.
Well condition.
To deliver this product properly, it is carefully packed in very strong boxes, thereby wrapped in bubble wrap with lots of padding. We mainly use plastic to fill up the package, if wished differently please contact us. The package is shipped insured to protect both the buyer and seller. For further packing wishes please message after purchase.
Photos serve as additional description of product condition / condition of display & LEDs. Please review them carefully before purchase.
Orders to islands, or special destinations have a higher shipping cost, for example; Canary Islands
