Very nice and rare Pioneer PL9 quartz full automatic turntable. This is not like a Pl-7 plastic base, this is a steel plinth. All automatic functions work, turntable sounds good, I tried it with a different needle, you’ll need to replace the stylus. This is the factory one, and the needle knees replaced. The dust cover is very nice, some minor scratches here and there. But very presentable. Please see pictures, they are part of the description. Occasionally the auto return seems to move slow. There is a small tone arm belt that eventually you’ll want to change. But a very nice turntable. Not many of these were sold. It was very expensive in its day. It does sound great…… no worries, I know how to pack turntables, it will be packed properly, if a gorilla was throwing it off the back of a truck and it bounced down the road it’ll still get you on one piece. I know how to pack. Thanks much enjoy this turntable and happy bidding.
