VICTOR SPE-8100 Portable Stereo Record Player

VICTOR SPE-8100 Portable Stereo Record Player with Built-in Amplifier using two 50EH5 vacuum tubes

・ Confirmed operation with LP records (33 1/3 rpm) and EP records (45 rpm).
・ SP records (78 rpm) have not been played, and the needle appears to be in like-new condition.
・ There are some scratches and dirt on the exterior.
・ The worn-out turntable mat has been replaced with a rubber one.
・ The volume control (500KΩ B curve) which had crackling noise has been replaced.
However, since a B curve was unavailable, an A curve has been used.
・ The rating is displayed as 50,60 [c/s], but it is believed to be designed to achieve the specified rotation speed at a power frequency of 55Hz. At 60Hz, the pitch appears to be slightly higher by a semitone. Therefore, at 50Hz, the pitch is likely to be slightly lower by a semitone. For reference, the results of rotation speed measurements are shown below.
・ Due to the transformerless power supply design, most of the wiring inside, including the ground, is live. There is a risk of electric shock from the internal metal parts. Please be careful not to touch them.

That's all!
