ou guys may be my only hope. -seriously!
 

about this turntable, that is. now as much as i dislike AK and what it stands for, i think you guys may be my only hope on identifying this TT and telling me something about it. ive posted this on multiple fourms and have had next to no results, so maybe the good guys of AK, the few that are left and dont hate my guts, can help out..

hitachi ps-33

so yesterday i picked up this hitachi turntable that more or less didnt exist. there is little to no info about it on the web. i searched all types of fourms and sites and found one one refrence to it on all of cyberspace, this is truly a rare and obscure table. its a large, heavy, and very very well made hitachi that rivals most high end sansui and pioneers from the period, (late 1960s, i guess) i dont think the headshell is original, but the rest of it is. can anyone shed some light on this truly forgotton turntable of the past??

Looks like a nice 'table.

I have no information on it.

I think it's Japanese.

....and plays those round black things.

Hold on......

What is that platter made of, Rob?

Dave

Looks like pixie dust to me.

Chas

The lateral balance looks a little heavy, and the anti-skating looks way light.
