The PL112D
Submitted on February 19th, 2008 by Scoop_mc20Astonishingly good value (around £50-60 in the late 70's) they are surprisingly capable. The first item to get rid of is the original headshell. Replace it with an SME or ADC item, fit a decent cartridge (the Ortofon VMS30 is a great match) and you're away!
If you can find a well cared for example, grab it with both hands!
The motor needs regular oiling and the main platter bearing can dry out over time. I last purchased a new bearing assy. from Pioneer around 1992, though resurrecting the old one proved to be an easy task.
