Philips GA312 turntable

Servo electronic turntable with integrated tone arm

Electronically controlled for smoother reproduction

 

 

Features

A free-floating sub-chassis is suspended independently over the main chassis. The rigid main chassis absorbs any vibration. The floating sub-chassis gives further protection to stylus and record

Electronic stop system eliminates stylus side thrust distortion, temporary cross talk, thumping and groove jumping.

DC motor is combined with a tacho generator. A mini-computer regulates its operation. The computer constantly monitors the running speed. Any deviation - such as changes in cycle current or cleaning brush drag - is instantly corrected.

The driven platter is isolated from motor vibration by a shock-absorbing, precision ground and stabilized polyurethane drive belt. Flutter and rumble are dramatically reduced.

Elastically decoupled counterweight balances the cartridge weight in all planes.

Electronic circuits adjust the speed for 33-⅓ and 45 rpm records. Each speed hasd its own fine adjustment control. All controls have a ligh indicator

Tone-arm cue control lets you raise or lower the arm at any part of the record. Tone arm cueing is feather light, viscous damped and extremely accurate.

Adjustable anti-skating device counteracts the centrifugal force of the spinning record.
