Early low-budget Pioneer named PL-M10 in Japan.

Inside isn't much but a simple & lightweight belt-drive, separate anti-skating and a nicely designed tonearm.

Aluminium foil is used here and there inside the plinth to reduce hum picking and indiced noise.
Said plinth is naturally "elegantly styled".

Speed accuracy is however of ± 0,1%.
Low-budget :)
