Pioneer Pl-600 Hi-Fi Turntable

Excellent Condition

More Information

The Pioneer PL-600 features a full auto mechanism based on optical, no-contact detection principles so that force is not needlessly exerted on the tonearm.

The model also adopts a quartz PLL system with brushless DC Hall motor.

The system compares the waveforms of a high-precision reference oscillator employing a quartz crystal with the output waveforms of the frequency generator built into the rotor of the motor, and thereby controls the rotational speed of the motor.

The precision-finished centre shaft and bearings, and the platter with it's high inertial mass, prove to be a winning combination in the PL-600.

This particular unit has the Shure cartridge shown in the pictures included.

The stylus appears to be in very good condition but we make no warranty on the condition or life of that stylus.

The dust cover is in remarkable shape for its age and the plinth looks very nice as well.

The tonearm is clean and moves true.

We took this thing apart and put it back together to ensure it would work exactly as expected.

while apart we did what any decent audio shop should do with a vintage turntable and replaced Every electrolytic capacitor.

we also cleaned out all the switches while we were inside.

We adjusted the tonearm so as it will sit at the opening groove of any 12", 10" or 7" record with ease.
