AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Philips AF-877 Electronic turntable from the late 1970s (around 1978-1980). This high-quality, belt-driven turntable is famous for its advanced "Direct Control" system, which combines the smooth, rumble-free playback of a belt drive with the speed quartz-accuracy tracking usually found in direct-drive models.
An iconic piece of Dutch audio engineering, featuring touch-sensitive controls and the classic Philips look.

Technical:
Fully operational. The speed control works perfectly, the pitch LEDs light up accurately, and the auto-return/shut-off function works flawlessly.
at some point installed power cord with power switch. Equipped with the original, highly-regarded Philips GP-401 cartridge.

Cosmetic:
The body/plinth is very clean with some small signs of use. The original dust cover has some typical light surface swirls/scratches from wiping over the decades, but is completely intact without any cracks or broken hinges. (Please see photos for a detailed view)

Specifications

Type: Semi-automatic (Auto-return and stop)
Drive Method: Belt drive with Direct Control tachogenerator
Speeds: 33 and 45 RPM
Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.05% (WRMS)
Rumble: -65dB
Dimensions: 420 x 141 x 348 mm
Weight: Approx. 5.5 kg
