Denon DP-61F Turntable with a Sumiko Pearl Cartridge *** Works Perfectly ***

Description

I have an extremely nice Denon DP-61F fully automatic turntable with
Sumiko Pearl Cartridge
for sale.
Unfortunately, I have to list it as “parts or not working” due to part swappers and dishonest Buyers.
However, as you can see in the video link it functions perfectly.
I am the second owner of this Denon DP-61F.
I installed a Sumiko Pearl cartridge.
I enjoy the rich warm sound of the Pearl.
The DP-61F is Denon’s top of the line fully automatic turntable.
I have been repairing vintage electronics for over 30 years.
My personal turntable is a Denon.
The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding.
With a little care and preventative maintenance, these units will provide many additional years of enjoyment.
This is a US model designed for 120VAC (no step-down transformer is needed).
I highly recommend a surge protected power strip at least.
I include a new Tonearm Level Gauge.
It is imperative to have the tonearm neutral balanced and level for accurate electronic tracking force adjustment.
I polish the plinth and dust cover as part of my normal cleaning process.
The dust cover does have a few small marks/scratches.
The plinth is in extremely nice condition, except for the right rear corner.
The previous owner hit the rear corner when moving it.
They repaired it using epoxy and did a nice job.
It is noticeable from the back and when the dust cover is lifted.
However, when I used it for a couple weeks, I did not notice it as it is up against the wall and under the dust cover.
