Reliable mid-1980s turntable from the renowned Technics brand. It has been completely mechanically and electrically restored, with new capacitors, new cables, mechanism cleaned and lubricated. Functions now as well as it did when it left the factory in 1985, and will continue to for many years to come. Linear tracking turntables are known for their ease of use, as once properly set up you won't need to worry about VTF, anti-skate, VTA, offset angle, azimuth, etc all of which are pre-set and not user-adjustable. It also eliminates the risk of unsteady hands letting the needle scratch a record, as all movement of the tonearm is fully automated. Last but not least, linear-trackers are designed to eliminate tracking error and 'inner groove distortion' and ensure accurate playback across the entire surface of the disc. Great machine in perfect working order!
