Pioneer PL-12D
Pioneer PL-12E
Early low-budget Pioneer 'table named PL-12E in Japan, not to be mistaken with the later japanese PL-M12 which is similar but shows slightly better specs (or the export PL-12S or the similar but japanese PL-12ED).
Inside isn't much but a simple & lightweight belt-drive, separate anti-skating and a nicely designed tonearm.
Plus an overhang checker stopper.
Aluminium foil is used here and there inside the plinth to reduce hum picking and indiced noise.
Speed accuracy is however of ± 0,1% - we're still in the low-budget section:)
