For sale a Victor / JVC QL Y5 direct drive turntable. Turntable works and keeps speed well, but auto-return doesn't work. All other functions work properly.
Turntable comes with working Ortofon cartridge. There is a crack at right side of the plastic cover. The price was set low accordingly.

Description (from website):

A record player system equipped with an ED servo arm that inherits the technology developed for the QL-Y7 model.

ED (Electro Dynamic) servo tone arm is used in the tone arm section.
This tone arm is equipped with two pairs of coreless linear motors that control movement in both horizontal and vertical directions. The vibration of the arm is converted into an electric signal and fed back to the drive circuit. The linear motor provides torque in the opposite direction to suppress the vibration. This controls the vibration of the ram caused by low-frequency resonance and other disturbance. Moreover, there is no mechanical friction, so there is no fear of loss of sensitivity of the bearing.
In addition, the arm can be adjusted by simply adjusting the volume scale to the same value as the needle pressure. It is also possible to search for the optimum point while recording.

Soft touch operation by switch is adopted for the operation of the arm, and there is no need to touch the arm body except for cartridge replacement and armless locking.
In addition, the non-contact electronic control allows auto return and reject in the middle without placing a burden on the arm or turntable, and manual operation is also possible.

The turntable uses a double servo quartz circuit to increase stability 30 times that of conventional motors. The motor uses a coreless type with extremely low rotational vibration to enable quiet operation with a torque of 1kg-cm.

NR (Non Resonance) head shell has been adopted for the head shell.
The connector part and body of this head shell are processed in one piece, and the whole is rigid NR structure which is tightened from top and bottom with cartridge and finger plate, so the structure is strong against twist and deflection.

The cabinet part uses a solid cabinet, and the legs are equipped with an insulator foot with a height adjustment mechanism.
Also, the surface has a rosewood-like mirror finish.
