Designed in 1974 by Marco Zanuso, Roberto Lucci, and Paolo Orlandini.

The turntable shows minor signs of age-related wear.

The turntable's outer casing was originally finished with a coarse-textured matte lacquer or similar coating, which is difficult to clean and quite delicate.

The turntable is in working order and uncleaned condition (no attempts to improve the finish with oil-based cleaners or similar products).

There are some light scratches in the form of wear marks, but no damage or major dents.

Overall, it is in good to very good condition for its age.

The turntable works, but should be serviced by a professional. On some days, the platter needs to be spun a few times with a finger before it starts spinning continuously.

The automatic on/off function works perfectly. The volume potentiometer makes typical scratching noises when adjusted, given the components are over 50 years old.

The speakers play without any distracting background noise. The surrounds are sturdy and still elastic.

There are no cracks or defects in the plastic housing.
The speaker covering is free of holes or runs.

There is a small paint defect on one of the two speakers; see the detailed photo.
