RE: Pick up a Optonica SA 5205 today

Posted by Hi-Fidelity on January 14, 2011 at 21:55:24:

I picked up a used Optonica turntable a little while ago. I was looking for something with a heavier tonearm to use with a mono cartridge (Denon DL 102). So far, so good.
I did a lot of research and discovered it was actually Sharp's entry into the world of turntables during the late 70's.
