According to this gentleman’s video-he is swapping motor and power supply on a Luxman PD-441 Which purportedly uses the same motor, the motors manufacturer is Mitsubishi.....
Wow, Mitsubishi.
Another Japanese giant.
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
Howdy folks-
We’ll I’ve got the vinyl bug for sure. 6 months ago, I bought my first TT, a nice Technics 1200 GR along with some killer vintage MM carts like Audio-Technica, Stanton and a few Grace. I love my GR! I love that little silver bastard A LOT as a matter of fact. A couple weeks ago, my second table arrived, a minty fresh Luxman PD-444 from Japan. This is a Micro Seiki built TT and was the "tits" in the mid 70’s. I can mount 2 arms on the Luxman. I’ve got a nice Victor 7045 arm coming soon along with a Victor X-1IIe MM cart which work quite well together.
I’d like to add another Vintage TT from the 70’s or 80’s and probably phase out the GR. I like the look of the old Pioneer, Denon and Victor tables. I’d like to get a vintage table that can be serviced if needed, something I can add a sweet vintage arm too. 3 arms are better than two!
I’d like to hear suggestions and comments on some fantastic, cool as crap, vintage turntables that you think should sit next to the Luxman.
Thanks again for your help!

I have yet to attempt to fit my FR-64fx with b-60 base- it may not fit on the right side…. It will, on whatever side, I’m using 64s with B60 and 64FX with N60. Look on the right turntable in my system I recently picked up a Luxman PD-444 and have installed my Sony PUA-7 PUA-7 is perfect for Luxman, this is my ex PUA-7 I shipped to Brent few years ago. Here is my system about 5 years ago with PUA-7 and Lustre GST-801, I’m still using Lustre If you have original PUA-7 (sold as separate unit) you have to drill additional hole in LUX armbase, here is mine in process. This tiny hole is on the right side of the SONY template. @dronepunk If you recently picke up LUX PD-444 you need SAES SS-300 mat or MICRO SEIKI CU-180 mat. Ask if you need help with those mats. |
