I have for sale after long hesitation my beloved Pioneer PLC-590 / XLC-1850 turntable. This is the XLC 1850 which is the Japanese version, 100 V voltage. It is identical to the PLC 590. I have included a mini step down auto-transformer. This converts any voltage to 100 Volts for this turntable. Sold one of these recently, please see the feedback. Will be double packed and fully insured. In immaculate, as new condition.Please see working and demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hvep3DAwTU&t=25sThe refurbishment took place a two month ago, by hifi specialist. It has included stripping down the aluminum body, sandblasting and re powder coating. This is not spay painted.
Lacquer powder layer on the top!
Also all settings were done with stroboscope, fully re calibrated. Caps in the power source upgraded. 800 pounds worth of work.

The PA-5000 was however present for those willing to have a fully-Pioneer turntable ; it was and still is unfortunately very rare.The more common PA-1000 was only sold optionally with the PLC-590 ; although the PA-5000 was a PA-5000 worldwide, in Japan the PL-C590 was released under the XLC-1850 name.The meter is for speed adjustment control ; it shuts itself off if the Quartz Lock function is on. A 3.072MHz Quartz oscillator signal is down-scaled to 6Khz and then to 300Hz for 45rpm or 222Hz for 33 1/3rpm speed reference. Pitch tweaking is availabvle within 6%.Electronic braking done by reversing the polarity of the motor ; the fairly big power transformer is mounted “floating”. There is no stroboscope : rare for a 1970s direct-drive LP spinner but forshadowing the early 1980s trend… The motor itself is a brushless DC DD with a PLL loop and three Hall elements.The base is made of 4mm diecast aluminium with 24 ribs placed with computer-analysis to avoid resonances ; resonance-resistant materials are used for the bottom plate while the feet combine rubber and die-cast solid parts to elevate the howling margin by 3dB.If Pioneer made a lot of noise about the Series 20 in Japan, the indirectly attached PLC-590 and PA-5000 were kept in the shadows and are now all but remembered.Outside Japan is another story :)Motor : Quartz PLL brushless with 3 Hall elementsDrive : Direct DriveSpeeds : 33 1/3 & 45rpmPlatter : 32cm aluminium Die-CastNoise floor : 75dB (DIN B)Load fluctuation : 0% up to 120gWow&flutter : 0,035% (DIN) 0,025% (WRMS)Startup time : 1/2 rotation (33rpm)Platter inertial mass : 350kg / cm2Dimensions : 49 x 18,5 x 40,6cmWeight : 14,5kg.Recommended tonearms : Pioneer Dynamic Absorber PA-5000 or SME Series IIIFeatures : bipolar ICs in the switching sectionMOS ICs in the control section

But will be well packed and fully insured for the shipping. The tonearm will be in extra box.
This is the Japaneses 100 V unit. The transformer is quite special and has lots and lots of soundproofing around it so it’s not replaceable with commercial ones, you need a 100 V step down. (Not 110/120!)People agree that from here the only step above: is pioneer exclusive P10 os P3.Head-shell/ cartridge not included
