Sansui FR-4060 Belt Drive Turntable
A rather rare turntable nowadays, made by Sansui - one of the better Japane manufacturers at the time.
This one is fully automatic, fully serviced with a new belt and a new Audio Technica AT-VM95C cartridge.
It is fully working and mostly in great shape - all things considered. The lid does have some deepish scratches but being a smoky lid, they're not that glaringly obvious as with a clear lid. There is a small bit of veneer damage but overall it's in really nice condition.
It has an original Sansui headshell and 45 RPM adaptor as well :)
Bit of the marketing blurb at the time:
The Sansui FR-4060 is a fully automated transcription turntable which performs with the ease and stress free operation of a first class manual but has the convenience and practicality of an automatic as well.
It effectively eliminates the one major disadvantage of the complicated changer-type turntable by employing a non-mechanical, purely electric device, the galvano-magnetic detection mechanism, to detect the end of a record and prepare the tonearm for automatic operation.
It makes it possible for the tonearm to ride completely free of stress-producing mechanical linkage systems until it is time for the automatic lead-in, return, repeat or cut operations to take over.
The FR-4060 also features an unusually sensitive S-shaped tonearm, a floating mount base and platter design and many other original Sansui quality details.
Sansui has come up with a turntable to fully satisfy your specific needs.
