Yes, it’s the Japanese model with the step down transformer.
I’m leaning toward @dekay ’s recommendation. Works great, holds speed, just install a better cartridge and enjoy. Forego the recap, and if it poops out eventually I’ll put the recap loot towards a nice newer one like that Clearaudio. The point was also brought up about trusting in a shops competence to do the work. Repair shops are few and far between and I don't have the DIY skills to pull this off. Kicking around the idea of getting a soldering practice kit and honing my skills to attempt it(eventually).
