Tech nical data

One of the insider tips on the turntable used market. An OEM device sold by Metz but with many features: Quartz-controlled, direct-driven fully automatic with an extra motor for the automatic functions. If the needle is not attached, the output is muted, so there is no cracking when inserting into the groove. The only problem is that the tonearm lift is almost always defective due to age. There is a spare part created in 3D printing for the broken plastic clip, so a repair is possible. The potentiometers of the manual speed regulation are also vulnerable and no longer allow a stutter-free speed adjustment. But why would you want that with a quartz drive too? A smaller disadvantage is the DIN connection, so an adapter is a prerequisite. So if you are not bothered by the somewhat uninspired optics, here is an alternative to the usual suspects.
