Pioneer PL-12 AC vintage turntable! Looks sharp! 30 years of stuff and Downsizing home. VERY GOOD to GREAT condition.
The model PL-12AC achieves a very high standard of performance despite it's surprisingly modest cost.
It does this through the use of high quality parts such as the vitally important motor - it is a synchronous type, the only kind free from line voltage fluctuations, with the result that turntable revolution is always rock steady.
Correct musical pitch is ensured and this type of motor is also the quietest in operation.
The PL-12AC also features an effective measure against skating - the extra pressure of the stylus against the inner wall of a record groove.
It keeps the balance of the stylus in the groove and assures perfect tracking always at the best condition.
The long lasting polyurethane belt further contributes to the steady, reliable performance of the turntable platter.
The Pioneer PL-12AC is that rarity in the audio world - a true high fidelity unit that even a child can operate with complete safety.
