Beautiful vintage JVC QL-Y5F Quartz-Locked Fully-Automatic Direct Drive Turntable. Absolutely immaculate. This is a one-owner hi-fidelity unit with the original shipping box from purchase on May5, 1981 (see photo of box and shipping information). Super rare original dust cover in perfect working order (note picture with “QuaratzLock” emblem in center) with only a few light brush marks. Upgraded Herbie’s Audio Lab “Way Excellent II” turntable mat. Stunning piece in gorgeous high polished rosewood plinth. Stanton 881S stylus in perfect condition. Even comes with the original owner manual/instruction booklet with registration cards. Please see photos and feel free to request additional photos as the photos in this listing were just taken with my phone and don’t really highlight the pristine condition properly. Dubbed The Flagship of JVCs Fine Line of Turntables when it was released in 1980, the QL-Y5F is simply stunning to look at and even better mechanically! Try finding a current model turntable this good 40 years later and you will be hard pressed! Sony, Denon and Hitachi models are always near the top in vintage turntables, but none have proven to be as reliable as the JVCs. I am the sole original owner and bought this turntable 43 years ago. It has been tucked away in it’s original shipping box and stored in our climate-controlled home since the late ‘80’s. I literally just plugged it in, loaded an album and it fired right up (see video). Quartz-Lock’s perfectly at 33 & 45 RPM. Unlike belt-driven turntables from that era (ever see a 43 year old rubber band…not much left of it) no maintenance was required to get it up and running. They dont make them like this anymore. Shipping cost includes packing, handling and insurance. US SALES ONLY. (Ships to the 48 US Mainland States).

This is a super sweet turntable. This JVC QL-Y5F is in fantastic condition. The dust cover is perfect. It has a brand new cartridge/stylus that has about 7 hours on it, which cost me $150. This thing is a great performer and looker. Its fully automatic and the tonearm is silky smooth!!

Vintage JVC QL-Y5F Direct Drive Automatic Turntable. This turntable is an absolutely beautiful piece of vintage equipment. Highly sought after and rare, these tables make an excellent center piece for any audio lovers home. Unit powers up all functions work properly but it has serious issues with the tracking force and anti skate. It does not want to track for a full record and will skip often toward the end. May be a simple fix but Im not entirely sure, unit does not come with the cartridge but does come with the headshell. Unit is sold as is with no returns accepted
