Pioneer PL-50L Record Player

Pioneer PL-50L
Original Price: ¥85,000 (Circa 1980) - Cartridge not included.
This is a semi-automatic turntable where the tonearm lifts and rotation stops after playback, so you can rest assured and even doze off.
Direct drive ensures smooth rotation and stopping.

Operation:
Confirmed to be in normal working order.
Tested thoroughly over an extended period.
Rotation speed is stable. 45 RPM was also confirmed using an EP record and measured with a smartphone app.
Sound output confirmed: cracks, distortion, and noise are within normal range.
Lift-up/down speed is smooth.
Tonearm lift position after playback is normal.
Confirmed that tonearm height adjustment is possible.
Anti-skating is also effective.

Exterior:
In very good condition, but unfortunately, there is one significant scratch. Please check the photos.
The dust cover has scratches but is still transparent and generally clean. It can be held open.

The oilダンプ (oil damping) function's ON/OFF has been confirmed, but there is no oil, so its effectiveness has not been verified.
The turntable mat is not the original.

Accessories:
Main unit only. Cartridge is not included.

The sound is distinctly different from the 30L. The overall sound has clear outlines, the bass has body, and the treble beautifully reproduces metallic sounds like hi-hats.

The price is a great value. We generally do not offer discounts.

Thank you for your consideration.
