Vintage Stereo

I have used this tuner in my bedroom for a while and it is a very honest machine, nice display (too bright for a bedroom really) and very good sound and reception. A nice feature is it's slimness, it fits anywhere.

This is the Akai AP-D33 Direct-drive 33/45 rpm Turntable with strobe light for speed accuracy verification and adjustment, it has a pitch knob to achieve this. The body is mostly plastic. Unfortunately, speed is a problem on this one. Seems I may have to change a resistor inside.

I picked up this turntable for 10$... and added a 80$ Shure M25C cartridge and stylus... It was 2nd from the top of the line the year it was produced and is a 2-speed, belt-driven, fully automatic turntable. I was impressed that a fully automatic turntable could perform so well. The automatic mechanism is noisy before the stylus touches the vinyl, then it's super-quiet. Nicely styled levers, very good turntable - no issues.

Nice 4 speed turntable with automatic loading arm, the mechanism works perfectly,  it needs a new stylus though. above: loading arm 4 speeds: 18, 45, 33, 78
