Product Review (submitted on September 25, 2019):

This TT is a great addition to my vintage system. I have it paired up with my recently restored Pioneer SX-1050 and TANNOY HPD-385. It is simplistic in its form and function and well built. Afew things though. Make sure you watch on how you install your belt as it is very easy to install it with a 'twist' in it. I did a 36 hour burn in instead of the factories 12 hour and I feel that is very important. Get yourself a good digital scale for setting tracking force (NOTE PICTURE). I followed factory setup precisely and tracking force was way off. The cartridge is OK but would benefit from an upgraded cartridge. Some reviews say the speed is off but mine wasn't. I think a lot of the speed issues has to do with the burn in period. With that said I am very happy with it and I think you would be to.
