Description from the seller

DENON DP-55L – Quartz-Controlled Direct Drive Auto-Lift Turntable – Made in Japan

Overview

A high-quality DENON DP-55L automatic-lift turntable, manufactured in Japan.

This model features DENON’s precision two-way servo direct-drive system with quartz speed control, designed to provide excellent rotational accuracy and stable playback.

One of its distinctive features is the non-contact optical auto-lift mechanism. At the end of a record, the tonearm automatically lifts and the turntable stops, helping to protect the stylus and vinyl records.

It is equipped with an S-shaped universal tonearm with a damping mechanism and a solid cabinet with a classic wood-grain finish.

The unit has been tested and its basic operation has been confirmed.
