Special Features
- 'DIRECT CONTROL' drive system, combining the advantages of belt and direct drive. The belt drive is controlled by a tachogenerator in the drive pulley. This ensures a constant speed even when the load on the drive varies, e.g. due to cleaning brushes, temperature or mains fluctuations.
- Tonearm balance integrated in the locking position socket.
- Adjustable tracking force and antiskating. Separate scales for spherical and elliptical needle grind available for antiskating.
- Sprung sub-chassis with three leaf springs coupled to the frame.
- Mechanical limit stop
Remarks
- Identical in construction to Philips AF 677
- The stock headshell has a 1/2" hole spacing but no slotted holes, so only Philips Super M II series cartridges fit accurately. To be able to use pickups from other manufacturers, Philips made a 1/2" universal headshell with slotted holes, order number 4822 402 60627.
