Description from the seller
Lot description: Exclusive Kenwood P-9 Turntable – In absolute top condition!
Are you looking for a true top-of-the-line model from the golden age of hi-fi? This exclusive Kenwood P-9 turntable is in virtually like-new cosmetic and technical condition. A model in such impeccable condition is rarely, if ever, offered on the market. A unique opportunity for the serious collector and audio enthusiast.
Important note about the dust cover / lid (see photos)
• Factory adjustment: The photos may give the impression that the lid does not sit completely flush all the way around. However, this is the original factory adjustment, and it is meant to be exactly like this.
• Operation: As shown in the additional close-up photo, the lid in this position activates the internal switch that detects when it is closed.
• Tracking force: These screws have deliberately not been adjusted. Attempting to adjust them would very likely immediately affect the arm’s precise tracking force. The unit is therefore completely original and correctly adjusted.
Cosmetic condition
• Casing & Dust cover: Completely scratch-free. The dust cover is clear, and the casing shows virtually no signs of use.
• Lighting: All original indicator lights work perfectly.
Technical condition & Major service
The turntable has been fully checked over and given preventive major servicing to ensure it works trouble-free for decades to come:
• Drive: All 3 rubber belts have been replaced as a preventive measure.
• Suspension: The vibration dampers for the subchassis/suspension have been completely renewed for perfect, interference-free playback.
• Cartridge & Stylus: The original stylus and cartridge are still in very good, sharp condition and deliver excellent sound quality.
Tested functions
• Record size & speed detection: The unit flawlessly distinguishes between an LP and a single and automatically selects the correct speed.
• Repeat function: Works without any problems. You can repeat an entire LP or a specific passage indefinitely.
• Tested: All basic functions have been thoroughly tested and work perfectly.
• Note: The specific synchronized recording function to a cassette deck is the only function that has not been tested, as I do not have a compatible Kenwood cassette deck to demonstrate it.
Important for the buyer (Transport screws)
The turntable will be shipped safely with the original transport-locking screws fitted underneath.
• PLEASE NOTE: These 2 transport screws must absolutely be removed from the underside before first use to allow the suspension to move freely!
Shipping
The unit will be packed with the utmost care, with the transport screws tightened and plenty of protective material, so that it arrives in this unique like-new condition. Shipped safely and insured.
