Plattenspieler Sharp RP 113H in funktionierenden Zustand
Riemengetrieben , Tangential Tonarm.
At €50, this is below what a clean, working Sharp RP-113H typically asks on the used market, where examples often land around the €100–€170 zone depending on completeness and condition; that makes this look like a good buy if it’s fully functional. For a vintage linear-tracking Sharp, the appeal is the compact midi-size format, fully automatic operation, and the novelty/utility of the tangential arm setup rather than a big audiophile platform, so the value is strongest when it’s already behaving properly.
It’s worth it because these are neat, space-saving deck-and-stack turntables that are genuinely enjoyable when sorted, and the belt-driven design keeps maintenance straightforward. The upside is best if the listing includes the dust cover, platter, and a known-good belt, since those are the bits that most affect plug-and-play convenience and total cost; at this price, minor cosmetic wear is easy to forgive, but I’d still confirm that the arm returns correctly and the automation cycles cleanly before jumping.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sharp is a Japanese electronics company founded in 1912 by Tokuji Hayakawa, who began with a small metalworking workshop in Tokyo. The company’s name comes from its early “Ever-Ready Sharp” mechanical pencil, and its broader corporate identity grew out of a long history of practical consumer innovation rather than specialist audio alone.
In audio, Sharp has been associated mainly with mainstream consumer hi-fi and AV rather than ultra-audiophile hardware. Over the decades it has produced items such as radios, televisions, receivers, and other home-electronics components; in the modern era its audio presence is tied more to compact systems and mass-market electronics than to a deep catalog of standalone amplifiers, DACs, turntables, or headphones.
In market terms, Sharp is best understood as a heritage Japanese consumer brand with periodic involvement in audio, not a dedicated high-end hi-fi marque. For knowledgeable buyers, that means the brand carries historical legitimacy and recognition, but its reputation is closer to reliable mid-market electronics than boutique or reference-grade specialist audio.
