Sanyo TP 1010 UM Vintage skivspelare i bra skick. Dock så måste man köpa ny rem till den, den gamla var torr o sprucken. Funkar som den ska annars. Ortofon pickup på den. Ser helst att den hämtas på plats då jag inte har någon original kartong.
At SEK 1,500, this Sanyo TP 1010 UM is a strong bargain for a well-regarded Japanese belt-drive turntable from the 1977–1980 era, sitting well below the typical used market range of SEK 2,500–4,000 for this model in working condition. While exact percentiles are unavailable, vintage Japanese turntables of this caliber rarely dip below SEK 2,000 unless they have significant issues, making this listing an excellent entry point for enthusiasts seeking solid analog performance without the premium priced of more famous brands.
The TP 1010 UM is respected for its quiet belt-drive mechanism, stable 1,600g platter, and reliable Sanyo tonearm, delivering smooth, low-resonance playback that pairs well with mid-vintage cartridges. Its all-Japan build quality and original-owner pedigree (implied by the listing’s clean presentation) add meaningful upside, especially if it includes the original dust cover or mat. With no red flags in the listing and a price that rewards boldness, this is a buying opportunity for anyone ready to enjoy vintage analog without overpaying.

Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. traces its origins to 1947 in Osaka, Japan, when Toshio Iue, brother-in-law of Panasonic founder Kōnosuke Matsushita, launched the company using a disused Matsushita factory to produce bicycle generator lamps. Formally incorporated in 1950, the name "Sanyo"—meaning "three oceans"—reflected Iue's vision of global reach across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. From these humble beginnings, Sanyo rapidly expanded into consumer electronics, pioneering Japan's first plastic radio in 1952 and pulsator washing machine in 1954.
In audio and hi-fi, Sanyo earned recognition for mass-market components like stereo systems, introduced in 1958, and the groundbreaking all-transistor DC-600 system in 1963. The brand produced reliable radios, tape recorders, cassette decks—often rebadged for other labels—and hi-fi systems, alongside televisions and amplifiers. Later ventures included acquiring the U.S. Fisher brand in 1975, elevating its profile in receivers and speakers aimed at everyday enthusiasts.
Today, Sanyo holds vintage-collector status rather than an active hi-fi contender, its reputation rooted in affordable, innovative Japanese engineering from the 1960s-1980s golden era. Once a "3S" giant alongside Sony and Sharp, it catered to mid-tier buyers seeking solid performance without audiophile premiums, though its absorption into Panasonic in 2009 shifted focus away from dedicated audio gear. Collectors prize well-preserved Sanyo pieces for their durability and nostalgic appeal in retro setups.
