    Default Pioneer PLC-1700 Direct Drive Turntable For Sale

    They don't come much rarer than this!
    Produced in 1973 and Pioneers top of the range japan only model,costing at the time a whopping 83,000 yen (i'll let you do the price conversion).
    I would guess this is the only working one in the country.
    Veneered in Rio Rosewood which has taken on a lovely mellow colour this direct drive looks and sounds quality!

    The turntable is in extremely good condition and comes with original lid which has a large break to the side,its a clean break and will glue back fine,i didn't use it with the lid so it never bothered me.
    Being a japan only model it comes with an airlink step down transformer.
    The armboard is panzerholz and is drilled for a linn mount,ie 211mm mounting distance,i still have the original armboard as well.

    It has recently been serviced and has been given a clean bill of heath.
    This is a very reluctant sale,i may change my mind.
    In an email converstion with hifido in japan the guy i spoke to said he'd worked there 30 yrs and never seen one!

    With that in mind the price is £800.
