Sony PS-X800 Stereo Turntable System Record Player w/ FR-1 MK3F Cart

Description: SONY PS-X800 ________________ This is a vintage Sony model PS-X800 stereo turntable system. This sale includes the stereo, manual & other standard papers, a Fidelity Research model FR-1 MK3F moving coil phono cartridge w/ 2 boxes and instructions (the needle piece somehow was bent over & broken just after the pictures here were taken, I'm not sure if this is something which can be replaced or fixed easily or not), a Sony brand needle, 2 tone arm weights, packing foam stabilizer blocks for the tone arm, turntable packing cover, and the set box w/ inserts. The stereo has some intermittent issues and likely needs calibration or possibly other repairs. I've just recently replaced the tone arm belts so the arm will move smoothly back and forth though some current issues include the needle dropping down just before the edge of the record rather than onto the beginning of the record when the play button is pushed, issues with the buttons such as the needle raising/lowering button usually working when raising the needle though not working when trying to lower the needle, the speed button working with the left direction button though not the right, occasionally the needle will move a lot faster than it should and skips through a record as it plays, the player may need 30 seconds or so after being plugged in before the play button will work, when the tone arm returns to its cradle position after a record has been played it will drop down and continue to make a little noise and slight movements, and other similar types of functional issues. I have not tried hooking up speakers or tested any of the other jacks so I could not say for sure if those features are working ok or not though the LEDs all work fine, as does the repeat feature, and the turntable will correctly vary in speed depending on whether the 33 or 45 record type is selected. Cosmetically, the record player is in pretty good shape with some scuffing, scratches, and other non-major cosmetic wear, as well as a piece of tape covering part of the RCA/antenna cable for some reason, though for the most part the record player has been pretty well taken care of over the years. The player's plastic cover shell is included though the hinge points have either cracked or completely broken so adhesive has been added for reinforcement though the hinge points are still a bit delicate. The manual and other Sony papers are ok though have some bending, wrinkling, and other age/storage wear & tear, and the warranty card is not included. The MK3F packaging & instructions are in good shape with light wear, and the foam tone arm spacers are good with a little wear as well. The Sony set box has a torn off top flap and other significant wear & tear, though the torn off flap has now been reassembled as much as possible and taped back in place, and some of the other edges have been reinforced with tape as well. The box inserts are functional though have some wear as well. This set is being sold as-is, for parts only. Please ask if there are any questions. __________________________________________ ________________________
