This FP2001 turntable dates from around 1975 and is almost certainly a predecessor of the JBE range of turntable, which started with the 3001 and culminated in the acclaimed JBE Series 3.
FP stood for Freelance Plastics Company and you can find a lot more information regarding this deck and the JBE range (and similar Environmental Sound deck) on my other website… just google JBE turntables.
This FP2001 comes with a tonearm mount designed for an SME arm. Condition of the deck is generally very good. The rosewood veneered base is in great condition, as is the metal top plate, although there are one or two small wear marks here and there. The original lid is in superb condition and I have professionally machine polished it… it looks almost as good as new.
This deck works. The Matsushita/Technics direct drive motor spins up quickly and evenly. Exact pitch can be adjusted via the knobs on the deck and the speed change is via the funky polished aluminium lever.
Obviously, it’s the highly distinctive 6-disc platter that makes a statement here, and it’s also in great condition.
The photographs show the actual item being sold. I use a studio to show the items in as much detail as possible.
I must stress, that I have not serviced this item, just described its current cosmetic and operational condition as honestly as I can.
PACKAGINGI only use brand new double wall boxes and all internal packaging is via ethafoam… this is the perfect foam to keep items well located and far superior to bubble wrap.
POSTAL AREA EXCEPTIONSPlease note that standard UK postage does not include Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland, Scilly Isles, Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands. I have quoted for some worldwide destinations, but if you do not see yours listed, please contact me for a quote before you bid/buy. Thank you.
DELIVERY – PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY
I send all UK deliveries by DPD next day delivery, to arrive by midday. Please be sure someone is present to sign for your package. If you are not present, please reschedule your delivery for when you are present. Please do NOT enable a ‘safe place’ option where the courier can put your large box with its precious hifi vaguely behind a bin where it can be seen by passers by… it may not be there when you get home! My contract with DPD is for a ‘signed for’ service. If you override this and ask for an item to be left in a safe place then I will NOT be held responsible for any item that is stolen. Be assured that DPD will also not reimburse you. So, if you are not going to be home, please reschedule the delivery, or have it delivered to your place of work. Thank you. Finally, please be aware that DPD will hold your preferences on its system from a previous delivery, so if you have previously selected a ‘safe place’ delivery, this will automatically be DPD’s default position if you are not there to receive the item.
POWER LEADS/NON UK COUNTRIESAll items, where appropriate, will be supplied with a modern UK 3-pin safety plug. This may be attached to the cord, or it may be supplied separate, with the pins removed and taped to the plug along with wiring instructions. I do this to reduce risk of an assembled plug damaging components in the box in the event of a serious knock in transit. Please be aware that reassembling the plug and attaching to the cable, though easy, should not be attempted if you are in any doubt of your ability. Instead, please seek the assistance of a local electrician. Please be aware that I will not reimburse for any costs incurred. NON UK COUNTRIES – it will be up to you to safely ensure the item is made compatible with your country and that any new plug arrangement meets regulations. Again, costs involved will be yours, not mine.
