Item History & Price
Rare Sharp RP-117 Linear Tracking Turntable. Tested- 90% working. Read details.. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class Package.
I bought this several years ago as I had wanted one back in the 80's. I have a standard turntable so I'm selling this as I need the $. It's worked since I bought it but, of course, when I go to sell it there's an issue.
It loads fine, starts to play fine but after 92 seconds it stops playing and retracts. It will flip and play side... B but, again, 92 seconds and it retracts. It's been suggested to me that the optical track sensors need to be cleaned. The track selection is not working so that's probably what it is. I don't want to open it up and start messing around and don't want to attempt servicing. A lot of you on here are technically saavy so I'm sure it's probably an easy fix since everything else is working ok and it does play and sounds good.
Hope this can go to a good home for someone who appreciates a rare gem like this.
