Description from the seller

Micro Seiki DD-1 DC servo direct-drive turntable

Very good and rare turntable from the golden hi-fi era, made in Japan

Micro Seiki turntables have now achieved a mythical status among vinyl enthusiasts and hi-fi purists, one of the best turntables ever built

These units are very high-quality built and run like a Swiss watch

The DD-1 uses no drive belt or idler wheel. The DC servo motor drives the platter directly, resulting in the lowest possible vibrations transmitted to the tonearm

Visually truly in gorgeous condition, with only minimal signs of use

Very good S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and lateral balance compensation (anti-skating)

Equipped with the original Micro Seiki headshell with Ortofon VMS 20E cartridge with good elliptical stylus

Beautiful clear dust cover with no scratches or damage, really still in exceptionally nice condition

Hinges also still in perfect condition, the cover stays nicely open as it should

Runs very smoothly and consistently, the audio quality is truly excellent

Equipped with pitch control for precise fine adjustment of the desired speed

The original Micro Seiki 45 RPM adapter for singles is also included

Please view the detailed photos, they are part of the item description

(the pictured LP is not part of the purchase)

The turntable is packed with the utmost care and shipped insured with track & trace

That is to say: the turntable platter is packed separately, the arm fixed, and the counterweight removed

The whole thing is wrapped in bubble wrap and soft foam, in a sturdy box

The stated shipping costs are for shipping within mainland Europe. For overseas territories and islands (Canaries, Azores, Madeira) shipping costs on request. We always seek the most economical and reliable way to ship the equipment

Pickup is also possible, by appointment and within a reasonable time after purchase
