| YAMAHA GT-1000: Vintage Japanese "Golden Era" turntable with a clean, timeless design! |
Item Description
The Yamaha GT-1000, released in 1983 during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audiophile equipment, is a highly-respected direct-drive turntable that was released exclusively in Japan. The GT-1000 is an entry into the upper-midrange market, just below the flagship GT-2000 model, and offers exceptional performance by its robust and unerring construction, as expected from Yamaha. The large 3 kg (6.6 lb) aluminum platter and quartz phase-lock loop control provide highly stable rotation, for extremely precise pitch reproduction. On top of its playback performance, the GT-1000 is overall a visually beautiful piece of equipment.
This unit is in very good condition, with some general wear throughout, including some scratches and peeling off (please see photos). The wooden part of the turntable is almost beautiful, but it has some scratches (please see photos). The dust cover has some scratches and scuffs. There are still traces of tape (please see the picture and refer to the dust cover policy). Furthermore, it has been thoroughly checked and tested by our professional technician, confirming its flawless operation. The 33 and 45 settings both work perfectly, and the platter rotation is like clockwork, as expected from Yamaha products of this era, which were built for a lifetime of operation.
