It certainly is a Japanese player badged as HMV. I know the Japanese player but I am not able to place it just now. I think it's a Pioneer model

BSR used to make TTs and changers for HMV in the past.CEC made similar looking TTs for Realistic Lab,Rotel,Micro Seiki,Yamaha and many other companies http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/deta...rntable_totl_table_made_by_cec/images/374547/

This is most certainly an EMI Sonic Turntable, sold by HMV in the 1980s packaged with a 50-50 stereo amplifier with a 5-band graphic equalizer and multiple driver speaker units. This would have been around 1981. If I recall correctly from my childhood, the turntable was a re-badged Pioneer.

Has anybody heard a Sonodyne turntable ? I heard it once and it was very nice. But I have seen another one after that.

 

[Selvin]

Correct. This is a Japanese HMV badged player. Inside the player one sticker is there and saying that 16V DC Motor, Made in Japan in May 1981.

I enjoyed giving the instructions on how to use a TT for the first time and could hear your excitement when the analogue sound came on for the first time through your speakers. Let me wish you a good analogue days ahead.

Finally got my turntable.





Some fancy camerawork with my mobile cam to beautify it.
It's an entry level JVC turntable. Belt drive, Straight tonearm, P mount Cartridge. But got it as a bundle deal with a very nice collection of LP's.

Can't turn up the volume up now because of the feedback. Still playing around with it!

 

[reubensm]

Congrats greenhorn, looks a slick deal. Enjoy the music.

 

[Hiten]

Congrats greenhorn. P mounts cartridges are good. No hassle of alignment etc. Plug and play. I had one Sansui TT. Cartridge had pretty tight and nice fitting. It's peace of mind, considering audiophiles go the extreme length of alignment and stuff.
