Luxman PD121A - PD441


Hello all

New to the forum so a big thank you in advance and greetings!

I am looking to get my first luxman record player. 
I have been lurking around the internet and initially came upon the Thorens and then the Linn LP12. 

Then by chance came across the Luxman. And now I am hooked on its looks!

After some reading i got it down to the PD121A or the PD441

The 121A comes with an SME 3009 and the PD441 has nothing but I was thinking a Micro seiki 505X. Opinions on the 505X?

Also i read somewhere that the 121A is just a smaller version of the 441. Is this in any way true and to what extent?  What is missing from one to the other???

Look forward to reading some replies and getting into the thick of it all!

Chris

Doors Open / Close as in all ventures.

The Link might just put a spark in the air.

The Plinth will sell for the nearly the same monies seen for the Overall TT assembly seen at the present.

If the price holds, the Purchase Won, The Plinth Sold, start your new venture into Japanese Vintage DD TT's with a Baked Bean Tin Pier Plinth and a Monopod Tonearm Mount. 

You won't be the first and certainly not the last.

Did you or the previous owner ever connect it directly to 120V?

The repair scenario suggested by Dover should not cost more than an hour of technician time. Surely that’s worth doing. I don’t know your location but Music Technology in Springfield VA may be able to have a go.
