This is a nice example of the Sony PS-X800 linear tracking turntable. It uses the last (and most refined) version of Sonys ‘Biotracer’ linear tracking tonearm, which was a marvel of engineering when ‘computer control’ were the buzzwords of the day. The arm uses brushless motors for arm movement (both horizontal and vertical) and several magnetic sensors, which facilitate the linear tracking and also electronic stylus force. The turntable balances the arm electronically, and you set the tracking force with the tracking force dial. It is then applied and maintained, regardless of record warps (even major ones) or the thickness of the record. Naturally it is fully automated but can also be controlled manually. This particular unit has been serviced to include a new set of tonearm control belts and a new tonearm illumination lamp of the correct type, which was particularly difficult to source. Many of the lamps sold as supposedly compatible replacements are the wrong voltage (so burn out quickly) or are physically incompatible. I will include a brand new spare lamp with the turntable. The photosensors for record size detection have been cleaned, the electronics checked and any capacitors replaced as necessary and the calibration procedure carried out according to the service manual. The turntable seems to work well, though I have had issues getting it to autodetect some coloured records which have to be played manually. If you have a record that starts very close to the edge, the arm might miss the first groove. Records that have a lead in area, as the majority of them do, don’t have an issue, and I’m confident that these are just quirks of these turntables in general but I mention them anyway for the sake of honesty and transparency. All lights and buttons work fine, the speed is dead on on both 33.3 and 45RPM. The turntable comes with its original headshell and cartridge mount (quite valuable on their own) and it also comes with the additional counterweight, which is often missing. There is no cartridge / stylus included, it takes any standard 1/2in phono cartridge though it can be quite picky about the weight of the headshell and cartridge, see the instruction manuals available online for details. Physically there are a few scuffs on the dust cover that would probably polish out, and a couple of extremely minor marks here and there, but it’s one of the best examples I’ve ever come across. Please view the pictures as they show the exact turntable that is being sold and were taken on the day it was listed. The turntable will sell to the highest bidder with a 99P starting price and no reserve. There is no buy it now price. Please only bid if you intend to pay if you win. Due to the age and complexity of these turntables I do not offer a warranty or accept returns. The turntable has been described as honestly and accurately as I can in the above text. I will be glad to help with any questions you may have during the auction or after the sale. The turntable will be packaged extremely well for safe shipping. I have shipped hundreds of turntables all over the world without issue. I take great care to ensure they are over-packaged and will withstand anything the couriers can throw at them. I will only send to the address you provide at checkout, so please ensure it is correct. The quoted postage covers insured delivery to a UK address. Global postage is offered via the eBay global shipping program, the price of which is set by eBay and is beyond my control. If you have any questions, please ask and I will be happy to help.On 18-Jun-23 at 22:12:03 BST, seller added the following information: I was just sent this by the previous owner of this deck and the owner of other Sony machines. Auto detection on coloured records - this doesnt even work properly on the not really black but actually dark red records - like Early Elton John stuff, and they wont be size detected on any of my PS-X machines - fully working ones included. Thats 100% normal and to be expected - because the light just shines through and confuses the machine. He suggests using manual for clear, coloured or not totally black records and that this is normal. From what youve described there, Id say that TT is fully working like it should - thanks to your fettling.

Sony Ps-x800 computer controllered fully automatic sterio turntable system. Found in house clearance I have plugged it in and it does light up but I think It needs connecting to a computer. So can test 100% so sold as seen untested. I’m very good condition, there’s a small crack in the one hinge pocket but doesn’t effect the hinge working at all. Collection only, cash on collection. These are very sort after and rare so grab a bargain.
