I just realized this is the one i got for my Dad for the den and hooked up speakers outside for the porch and it he was so happy to be able to listen to music in the den and porch. Those days are long gone.
Nice unit indeed !!, I'm still using mine ,I purchased it in 1982 in Japan ,i have everything that came with it as well and is in mint condition, not a scratch. The only reason im using it now is that my DP-45 from same year started spinning backward. One day, it too was in great condition, and now its back in the box, awaiting an uncertain future. I would like it serviced.
Nice turntable. I purchased one of them when I was stationed in Japan back in the mid 80's. I had the same Shure cartridge and also a Concorde. That turntable never failed me but I went all digital years ago and sold it.
The 5550 was my first piece of hifi gear, bought in 1971. Like all units of that era, they were built like the proverbial tank. I still have the original manual but traded the receiver in for separates in 1978.
Très bonne restitution en quadriphonie , j'ai depuis 10 ans un 4400 associé à un démodulateur CD4 PANASONIC et cellule à jauge de contrainte epc4500-II !!! Une merveille !!!!
Hi, I have the same tester but I do not have the instruction manual and I do not know how to set-up the device. Please can you send me the PDF format of ypour manual? Regards
I have this unit since 1975 , still works great an it just looks classic vintage , a lot of memories around this unit like when the DJ talked with a low voice an then a Pink Floyd song or two would fade in!!!
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me answer a couple of questions. I just bought a kenwood KD-5033 and having a couple issues actually getting the arm to lower? It goes across just doesn’t actually touch the record? Any advice on how to get it working would be appreciated??
I agree that the LED lights don’t look as good or as natural, and they’re certainly not an “upgrade”. But there is a practical reason, mostly because they are more readily available, last longer, and don’t have the heat issue. Just don’t use blue LEDs and be sure to replace the vellum. They can come pretty close.
Appreciate response. Not so sure about lasting longer. I may have had one bulb go out on my old receiver. And if incandescents are in anyway available, no way would I change. Cheers
@@dukeallen432 I agree the LEDs never look exactly "right". I think if you go with LED using the warm white and doubling or tripling up on the vellum paper looks the closest. It helps to get rid of the stabbing sharpness of the LEDs.
