Nice ! I hope you have the 100v AC requirement covered, with the right plinth it could be fine looking table.
....very good. I wonder which Pioneer models it was used in?-Steve

Do you know much more about this unit? Is it vintage or new production? Coreless or iron core motor? Servo? Quartz reference? Platter mass? If enough of those questions have the "right" answers, you've got the basis for a great turntable there. The outboard control panel does look like what I have seen on some of their vintage direct-drives.
Pioneer MU-1800 (1976, in Japan)
Hall element equipped, brushless DC-servo, high-torque, direct-drive motor with magnetic pulse encoding system
Platter: 34cm diameter, aluminum, with acrylic rim
Inertia mass: 280kg-cm2
Pitch control: +/-6%
Wow and flutter: Less than 0.03%
S/N: More than 60dB
The MU-1800 motor was not only sold on its own but also a part of the PL-1800 record player system.
You may have already done this, but I went to Vintage Knob:
The cut-away view of the motor reveals it to be an iron core type. And there is no mention of quartz-referencing the servo. However, it is a well made and heavy duty beast for sure. Should make for a great turntable. I gather also from Vintage Knob that neither the PL1800 turntable nor the motor MU assembly were exported from Japan.
Of course! I should have come up with the site first. A great audio site, isn't it.
I got informations from a few Japanese sites including audio-heritage and translated them.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
Now that's a Pioneer model I haven't seen before. Congratulations...it looks great.
How does it compare to the P3 and P10?
Nice grab! With very little work you're going to have a winner! That looks like something from a broadcast rig.
