EXPIRED For Sale Nippon Columbia RP-53C Turntable

Further Information

Schick 12” tonearm now included!
 

Completely refurbished Japanese broadcast turntable in custom made solid walnut veneer plinth. Massive idler beast with a 36cm platter, the Japanese EMT 927. The record you see on some pictures is an LP. 

Amazing Bass and rocksolid sound and speed control. The torque the massive motor produces is unreal. It comes with built in 100/240v transformer.The Schick 12” tonearm for SPU G is included. Other tonearms possible, like Ortofon RF 309 or Sorane ZA 12. The last two need the mounting distance changed to 309 mm. The Schick arm can be used straight away. There are also a few cartridge options if you’re interested like Ortofon SPU G classic, SPU GT , Lumiere DMT or SPU Mono.

I also have a custom made 10 mm thick Audio Nautes Graphite platter mat for this turntable if you’re interested. I’m not using it as this would require an additional spacer for the tonearm.
The turntable feet are made from Delrin by Kridon Panteli in London.
If you are local and serious you are very welcome to come and listen.

I would be open for trades like a record cleaning machine or (Kondo)cables

here is some information how the turntable was refurbished, my turntable is one of the two:
