Description from the seller

* * * NO RESERVE PRICE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL YAMAHA YP-D7 * * *

Perhaps one of the most beautiful Yamaha turntables ever produced, this D7, a timeless design from the second half of the 1970s.

Beautiful tonearm, designed by Micro Seiki.

Two speeds, height-adjustable servo tonearm, pitch control and strobe. The tonearm is a so-called die-cast, weighs 1 kg and is made of zinc.

Fully serviced, precisely adjusted and works perfectly. Smooth tonearm, nice direct start, operation is good, maintains speed stably and has perfect sound. Motor measured with RPM App, results shown in the last 2 photos.

Original YAMAHA dust cover, also in very good condition, free of cracks, provided with Yamaha branding.

Shipped including the depicted Fidelity Research headshell with a new and unused cartridge. It concerns an equivalent of the Audio Technica AT 3600L. Sound on Left and Right channel is sublime.

This is the original Japanese 100V version. You will receive as a free gift a voltage transformer allowing this Yamaha to be used in any European living room.

I measured the motor quality on September 9, 2026 using the RPM app. The results are as follows. See also the last 2 photos.

Yes, this is, overall, an excellent result for a turntable via a mobile app. The measured values show that your classic direct-drive Yamaha YP-D7 spins very stably and holds speed with great accuracy.

Here is the key data from the measurement highlighted and explained:
Speed (RPM) 33.33 RPM / -0.00%: This is a perfect score. The turntable runs exactly at the target speed.
45.01 RPM / +0.01%: This is also exceptionally precise. A deviation of only 0.01% is practically inaudible in practice.

The player will be shipped by registered mail. Moreover, it will be packed in a double box, supplemented with bubble wrap and foam protectors on the corners of the inner box.

Specifications:
Power: 100 Volt / 50/60 Hertz / 5 Watt
Type Direct-drive
Motor : Quartz-Lock HALL DC
Platter :31cm / 1,8kg die-cast aluminium
Weight: 15 kg
