The tone arm uses a linear tracking arm.
The drive motor is an FG servo DD coreless motor with excellent basic characteristics.
Equipped with an auto-select function, it automatically determines whether the set record is 30 cm or 17 cm, so that the tone arm is surely led in to the record.
In addition, it is equipped with an inverse switch that can change the rotation speed in order to deal with records of special rotation speed (30cm/45rpm, 17cm/33 1/3rpm).
