Pioneer PL-90 record deck wanted

[vintagesteve]

I'm looking for a Pioneer PL-90 record deck if anyone has one to sell. Please PM me if you can help, thanks.

Does anyone own or know of the existence of a PL-90?! They are rare.

seen one sell last year at auction in liverpool , made a grand plus fees of 25% , https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303560542125?hash=item46ad9e47ad:g:~q0AAOSwY4Nesq~ X

this is the nearest to it in this country at this moment , the smaller version , it has been on ebay for quite a while

Thanks Peter for the info and the link. Doing a bit of homework on the Pl-5L, and indeed the Pl range, that Pl-5L is ridiculously over priced. But anyway, it's a model to consider. Cheers.

Thanks again Peter, yes I've gleaned that as I've done more research. So a 7L would also be of interest to me. But I'm not too interested in shipping from overseas or 110v versions unless they come at an attractive price. Thanks again.

My current deck, as has been the case for a few decades is a Garrard 401 with SME mk2. Perhaps I shouldn't be looking at the Pioneer?! It's just that I've got a complete Pioneer set up from that era (AD-91 amp, F-93 tuner, PD-91 CD, CT-93 cassette deck etc) and the deck would provide the finishing touch to a vintage, in its day reference standard setup.

Hi, I own a PL-90 Pioneer Reference turntable best turntable I have ever owned. Took me 3 years to find and then I had to import it from Canada, unfortunately it is not for sale as it is my last one I will ever buy, but if there anything you want to know please let me know.
Your system is very similar to my recent system for pics see my gallery.
