Description

Sansui SR-838 from the 1970's in good condition, some light scratch markings on the front, may polish out. Sounds great, moving on as it hardly gets used. Uncanny speed accuracy, MCF mass concentrated fulcrum tonearm and up-front controls.

Features include a zinc alloy die-cast tonearm base, direct readout tracking force, headshell tilt adjustment, lockable arm rest, gold plated connection pins, arm height adjustment, lever/weight anti-skate device and oil-damped arm lifter.
