Description
Pioneer PL-A35 Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable Cartridge is a Pickering XV 15 with a D750 (Dustmaster) Stylus This is best described as a work of art with a great sound. There are many favorable reviews and other online articles on this 70s turntable. The Pioneer PL-A35 is a classic wood & metal turntable. The base (plinth) is a beautiful walnut wood veneer on a heavy wood frame. There is a heavy-duty motor for the platter and a Gear motor for the Pick-Up. The entire turntable is about 20 lbs. (package weight about 27+ lbs). The turntable is built like a tank. The quality of the build and components explains why this turntable is still highly desirable.Designed for ease-of- operation as well as precision, the PL-A35 is fully automatic— from the playing of the record to auto-repeat and tonearm return at the end of the record. You’ll never touch the tonearm, your records get extra long-life protection. Or use the manual operation if you prefer. Watch the demo to see some of the auto and/or manual operations.This is in showroom quality (see pictures to evaluate the cosmetics). The video shows the quality of the turntable as well as some of the functionality. Please ask if have you any questions before purchasing.Notes: I dont think any vintage dust covers are perfect, but this comes close. There are faint imperfections that are hard to photograph for viewing (nothing significant). Please view the photo gallery and evaluate the quality of the dust cover.
