Yamaha YP-D10
(1978 - 1980)

Rare LP record turntable of the superlative yet easy-to-use kind. The tonearm seems like a simplified preview of the ones built for the very successful GT-750 / GT-1000 / GT-2000... very low friction rates at any rate - even lower than the famous EPA-100 - and better than that of the GT-2000 !

Seemingly built and/or engineered by Micro Seiki - I don't know much more except it seems very very well built with specs perhaps leaning on the "old style"... but a respectable 16kg to lift if you feel like lifting audio turntables instead of doing push-ups.
128,000¥ didn't bring esoteric high-end in 1978 but it sure brought quality and durability.
