fs: Sony PS-X800 Tangential Tracking Audiophile Turntable [NYC]
Sony PS-X800 Turntable. Cosmetically, it's MINT; as close to a 10 as you'll
find. When I packed it in a box many years ago, it was working perfectly. I just took it out to test it. It powers up. The tone arm auto-balances. The Start button turns the platter on. The problem is that the tone arm does not move into place to drop down. But if you manually move the arm to the drop-down point, it'll play the entire album perfectly. My guess is it's a simple motor issue not having the torque to move the arm into place but enough to track fine. I had long ago lost the original headshell but ordered a replacement from Sony which is still in the box. The only problem is that they failed to include the little cross-member bar that holds the cartridge in place though one could easily be fashioned. Fortunately, the TT uses a universal mount so I've added a die-cast Technics headshell with a cheap Grado cartridge to test. http://members.aol.com/putortutor/listings/sony_tt |
