Sometimes is just nice to pop on a record whilst reading the paper and not get all anal about the sound. This is my latest purchase for just those moments.
It's a Hitachi SDT 900. 50 watts into 8ohms, direct drive tt, logic control cassette, digital tuner, timer and an infrared remote control!
It's big and mad but much fun and actually sounds quite good.
Of course it wasn't quite behaving itself at first, particularly the tuner, but a friend of mine was able to trace the fault to a failed transistor, within one of the IC's! He soldered a replacement externally across the respective pins and all is now good. Just need the matching LS 370 loudspeakers now!
