AR Turntable - XAU
This is the original suspended platter design - copied by the likes of Linn Sondek and Thorens in latter years. This is the XAU version - the U stands for Universal so it can handle NZ and USA voltages. Naturally this one is setup for NZ voltages.
It has been restored and is fully functioning - with a new belt and stylus. The power cord and RCA cord have also been replaced for a cool vintage vibe.
Also comes with a cork platter mat. It is fully manual and has the ultra rare arm lifter that was an accesory at the time
The serial number is XA259172 and I think it's an original 1972 model
