AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Akai AP-B21 is a vintage, semi-automatic, belt-drive turntable from the 1980s. Akai products from this era are known for their classic Japanese quality. The Akai has an auto-return feature, and can play both 33.3 and 45 RPM records.
This turntable will need to be plugged into an amplifier with a built in turntable preamplifier or you will need a phono preamplifier to use it with an AUX type input. The dustcover does have some minor scratches.
