Pioneer PL-41A
PL-41A : ¥ 49,500 (around the late 1960 s?)
PU-41A : ¥ 43,500 (around the late 1960 s?)
Commentary
Belt drive player with excellent accuracy as a finished product player.
A hysteresis synchronous motor is used for the motor, providing a structure that is resistant to voltage and load fluctuations.
It also uses a belt drive system with a polyurethane belt.
There was also a player unit PU-41A with only mechanism without cabinet.
