AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare offer! Direct drive with button controlled arm movement. It works very convenient.
The Akai AP-Q41 is a fully automatic, quartz-controlled direct-drive turntable manufactured in Japan between 1982 and 1984. The model is known for its microcomputer-controlled operation featuring automatic size and speed detection. If the turntable was sold with the suffix "C" (Akai AP-Q41/C), it meant that a cartridge was included as standard. Below is an overview of the key technical specifications:
