A Rare Colletable.

I got this from my wife's mothers house in Japan and brought it back with me.

Legendary portable turntable from Columbia Japan! Throughout the 90s and into the early 2000s the portable turntable market was essentially nonexistent other than the famed Columbia GP-3 Turntable. Built like a tank, the turntable had a cult following amongst diggers and was often issued in special editions and different color variants. Featuring a built-in speaker, headphone output (mono but can easily be fixed with adapter), pitch adjustment, and a very unique clamp that allows the deck to play vertically. The portable deck can be battery powered or plugged in via the hardwired plug that neatly tucks away in the battery compartment

NOTE: This unit needs a new idler wheel and cartridge- the idler wheel is slipping so the platter won't rotate.

The clamp that enables records to play upside down is missing.

The battery cover is missing-however there are 3D printing files online.

This unit is 100v, Don't plug it into 240v! You can run it off batteries.

Also Sold as the Anabas GP-N3R which retails for between $350 to $400
