This is a record player released by VICTOR around 1974. It's a rather niche record player, combining the standalone turntable JL-T77 (original price ¥53,000), tonearm UA-77 (original price ¥19,000), and cabinet JL-C77 (original price ¥19,000). The cartridge is a VICTOR X-1Ⅱ/D (original price around ¥29,500 in 1981). I acquired this as a junk item about 5-6 years ago and repaired it. It is currently in working condition. * **Turntable (JL-T77)** Due to transistor degradation, it wouldn't spin. I replaced the transistors, electrolytic capacitors, and cleaned the switch contacts, and now it rotates normally at both 33 and 45 RPM. You can check the rotation speed through the strobe window and fine-tune it with the dial on the side. * **Tonearm (UA-77)** I polished each part and applied oil to the moving parts. The arm lift lever also works correctly. The anti-skating weight was missing, so I made one from a fishing weight, filing it down. I don't know the original weight, so it's not adjusted correctly. Also, the arm-locking hook is homemade. * **Cabinet (JL-C77)** The acrylic dust cover was cracked and in terrible condition, so I replaced it with a dust cover from a similar item. It's slightly larger than the original, but it doesn't look too out of place. I had to redrill the hinge holes because the positions were different. * **Cartridge (X-1Ⅱ/D)** The stylus tip is quite worn. I have confirmed that it still produces sound with this unit. Due to the above conditions, it differs from the original, so it is considered a junk item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for an original condition unit. Also, I will remove the turntable, cartridge, etc., for packaging to minimize vibration during shipping. The tonearm will be secured to prevent movement, so assembly is required after unpacking. This is an old product, manufactured half a century ago. There is a risk of malfunction due to vibration during shipping or use. Please consider purchasing with no claims and no returns.
