SF-165
Commentary

Auto player that uses MS type (magnetic) cartridge.

The MS type cartridge is made of PCM piezoelectric element developed by National. It has excellent heat resistance and moisture resistance, and the output and self-capacity of the cartridge are larger than those of conventional cartridges.
A large self-capacitance extends the low-frequency characteristics, and a large output improves the characteristics.

Equipped with an automatic mechanism, it is possible to automatically return the pickup to the armrest when the performance is finished, to automatically cut and stop the performance at the desired position, and to automatically repeat the same record as many times as you want.

It comes with an acrylic cover and uses a cabinet made of natural teak.
