Luxman PD 277
Automatic Direct Drive Player System
Description
The Luxman PD-277 is a two-speed, automatic direct-drive turntable using a brushless and slotless DC servo motor direct drive system.
For the tonearm, a straight type is adopted to eliminate resonance caused by a lack of solidity which tends to be found in tonearms exclusively designed for high-compliance type cartridges.
The most salient feature of the PD-277 is the automatic function; unlike conventional automatic players, pure electronic tonearm operation with an exclusive motor for the tonearm provides quite smooth operation of the tonearm without sacrificing it's inherent quality.

Submitted on January 10th, 2010 by asacamWayne, I am the original owner of this turntable. I love it! Mine has, over the years, stopped being an automatic turntable like yours. I also couldn't adjust the speed enough to be strobo accurate on 33 1/3 RPM LP's. I recently got fed up and took the thing apart. I sprayed contact cleaner where I could. I adjusted a pot that controls the range of speed adjustment for 33 1/3, (it actually says 33 on the board). I manually turned the worm gear, (while plugged in), that controls the tonearm mechanism, and it started to turn. It must have been stuck from years of only playing CD's. LOL. I hope this might help you. It's a great turntable! Sincerely, asacam
Anti Skate Plastic Fixation Point @ Tonearm
Submitted on September 21st, 2009 by fsclIs there someway to restore / refabricate the plastic piece that the anti skate string affixes to the tonearm?
