Why consider this model?

  • A useful fit for someone who wants documented automatic start, arm return and platter stop, values 78-RPM speed selection, and already has or plans a compatible MM phono stage and the right stylus for the records being played.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • There is no built-in phono preamp, and the automatic start selector covers 7- and 12-inch positions rather than 10-inch 78s. Shellac playback requires a suitable 78 stylus such as the compatible Sumiko RS78, which the documented A2 package does not list; body clearance also needs to exceed the published 16.93 x 14.37 x 5.91-inch dimensions.
