Auto-Return Convenience: The tonearm automatically returns to its rest at the end of the record to save your stylus. Condition Note: Tested and spinning at a steady speed. The built-in strobe light is functional and bright. The dust cover is included and functional, showing typical light scuffs consistent with its age. Identification: Serial No. YC 14237 NP. Made in Japan. Vintage Audio Disclaimer: This item has been tested and is in working order. As a piece of vintage equipment, it shows character consistent with its age, including minor surface scratches or cosmetic dents as shown in photos.
