Akai AP-005 Belt Drive Turntable Turntable Guy

Made in 1978, the Akai AP-005 was part of the greatest lineup of turntables that Akai ever made before and since. It's a beauty to behold (even if the lid has cosmetic issues but no breaks or cracks). It is a fully automatic turntable - flick a lever then sit back and let it do its thing. This one is fully serviced with a new belt and will come with a new audio Technica AT-VM95E cartridge - all that is worth on its own.
