Philips - F7213 'Direct Control' Belt-Drive Semi-Automatic Turntable

The Philips F7213 is an automatic (or semi-automatic) hi-fi turntable, introduced to the market by Philips in 1982. It is a popular vintage model, well-regarded for its excellent price-to-performance ratio and clever technological design. Key features • Direct Control Servo System: Instead of relying on a heavy platter, Philips employed an electronic servo system that continuously corrects the rotational speed. This ensures a highly consistent speed with minimal fluctuations (wow and flutter). • Automatic stop and return: At the end of a record, the turntable stops automatically, and the tonearm returns to its rest position on its own. • Built-in stylus pressure gauge: Located to the right of the tonearm is a mechanism that allows for an accurate reading of the stylus tracking force when the arm is resting on its support. • Standard cartridge: The turntable originally came equipped with the well-known Philips GP401 MkIII magneto-dynamic cartridge, noted for its warm, full-bodied sound quality. • Speeds: Capable of playing both LPs (33 rpm) and singles (45 rpm). Very nice half automatic Philips turntable with very good GP401 cartridge with good stylus. All functions work, arm moves back automatically. End point set correct. New capacitor installed Belt is strong 33/45 rpm set correct dustcover looks clear, but has some polished little scratches on top, But it looks excellent overall RCA connectors Carefully shipped!
