Description from the seller
Philips 677
The Philips 677 (also known as the 22AF677) is a semi-automatic Hi-Fi turntable from the late 1970s, notable for its innovative “Direct Control” speed regulation via a tone generator on the drive shaft. Unlike the direct-drive trend adopted by other brands, this system provided very stable speed with minimal wow and flutter. It features a floating subchassis to minimize external vibrations and a handy, though not always perfectly accurate, built-in stylus pressure gauge in the tonearm rest. Often fitted with a Philips GP400 or GP401 cartridge, this turntable is known as a solid, reliable, well-built piece of vintage audio equipment.
Specifications±
Speeds: 33 and 45 RPM
Method: Belt drive with electronic “Direct Control” speed regulation
Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.05%
Total Audible Rumble: Less than 65dB
Cartridge: Typically equipped with a Philips GP400 or GP401 magnetic cartridge
The turntable works perfectly.
