I've got a SR-4050C belt-driven turntable up for sale over in BarterTown and a fellow AK'er posted a link to a FR-4060 elsewhere. I know my SR-4050C was the TOTL at the time, but I'm curious to know how far after that the FR-4060 came along.

When was the FR-4060 introduced? Is it in the same design (circuitry and mechanics) line as the SR-4050C?

There is only one FR-4060 in the database. It was produced in December 1973. It's way too small of a sample size to get an idea of the production range but it was around in early '73 for sure. Your SR-4050c was built in August, 1972. It's also the only one of those on file. There is an SR-4050a with a build date of May '72 and it's the only one of those.

This may not be an accurate date range but it does give you the era.

Sansui FR-4060 was listed at 58,000 yen in 1973. :)

Yen to dollar exchange ranged between 264.95 - 301.15 throughout 1973.
 
I have a FR4060 purchased in 1974 in Subic Bay Navy exchange I think Sansui only mfg them for a couple of years 73-74 not sure if they continued production into 75 or not. Ken
