120V 60Hz :grimacing:

I thought they all were (or 100v in Japan)

He says he bought this with him from Canada

Sorry, misread your post,
He doesn’t mention that in the description just on the photo which is a bit misleading when advertising in the UK

IIRC they were only ever made for Japan and US (+Canada) market?

120v or 100v

He does say

The turntable come with the transformer.

Which kind of gives the game away.

So he does, but after he started waffling about the cart at which point I had stopped reading! :grinning:
In fact I re read it twice and missed that.

It’s a very nice turntable and it would be tempting if I were looking (I’m not!) but I would have no interest in the cartridge whatsoever.

Can’t understand why he just doesn’t list them separately, there has to be more interest in the t/t than the cart.

Have a nice 80s Pioneer set of shoe boxes which would go lovely with that TT but not at the price he wants (with cart).

eBay money without the fees. I like the seller.

Which would make it 240V 60Hz. Should be fine… :thinking:

True, but it seems he’s been using it over here for 4 years so it can’t be a massive issue?

Not an AC synchronous motor then!

It has a DC motor

It’s a DD turntable, I can’t think of any that use an AC motor?

(think there may be some really old ones that use a strobe to set the speed rather than a quartz clock though)

I love all the high end Japanese gear, no doubt it’s where I’m progressing to, but this and the similar Kenwood decks aesthetics I struggle with…

Power transformers have to work a bit harder at 50Hz than at 60Hz, and sometimes the filtering includes elements tuned for the mains frequency. But I’d be surprised if either of those was an issue for a turntable psu.

I’d like this just to look at.
