SONY PS-515 Rare Vintage Turntable Direct Drive Full Automatic WarrantyA good turntable is not only about playing records — it is about the moment before the music starts. The tonearm moves, the platter locks into speed, the stylus meets the groove, and the room becomes quieter for a second. The Sony PS-515 has exactly that vintage hi-fi charm: clean Japanese design, a confident direct-drive layout, and the easy pleasure of full automatic operation. 🎶If you are looking at this model, you probably understand why these machines still matter. For the collector, it is a solid Sony turntable from the classic hi-fi era, with quartz-controlled direct drive and a proper S-shaped tonearm. For the emotional buyer, it is a beautiful and practical way to return to vinyl without dealing with a fragile, unpredictable project unit.This Sony PS-515 was brought from Germany and is confirmed in working condition. It has received preventive mechanical service, including replacement of the cueing lift lubricant. That is important on a vintage automatic turntable: smooth tonearm movement is not only nicer to use, it also helps make the experience calmer and safer for your records.What you get here is more than a vintage Sony name. You get the comfort of full automatic start, stop and tonearm return; the stability of direct drive; 33 and 45 rpm speed support; and X-Lock quartz speed control for reliable rotation. The aluminum platter, strobe detail, silver front panel and smoked dust cover give it a classic hi-fi presence that works beautifully in a listening room, office, studio corner, or serious vintage system. ✨Why this unit? Because this is not just “a PS-515.” This is a tested, serviced example with real photos from all important angles: front, rear, top, tonearm area, cartridge area and dust cover. The cosmetic condition is shown clearly in the photos, so you can judge it honestly before purchase. The voltage selector is visible on the rear, and the unit is marked AC 220V, 50/60Hz, 8W.Collector’s note: the Sony PS-515 is a full automatic direct-drive stereo turntable system from the 1970s period, appreciated for combining user-friendly automation with stable direct-drive performance. Its X-Lock speed control, S-shaped tonearm and classic Sony styling make it attractive for buyers who want a real vintage turntable that is still practical for regular listening.Dimensions & weight:45.0 x 13.5 x 38.5 cm17.7 x 5.3 x 15.2 inWeight: 8 kg / 17.6 lbTechnical info:Model: Sony PS-515Device type: Full automatic stereo turntable systemDrive: Direct driveSpeed control: Quartz controlled, X-LockSpeeds: 33 and 45 rpmWow & flutter: 0.03% WRMSSignal-to-noise ratio: 70 dBTonearm: Universal, statically balanced, S-shapedEffective tonearm length: 300 mmOverhang: 16.5 mmTracking force: 0–3 g adjustableCartridge weight range: 4–12 gPlatter: Aluminum, approx. 300 mm diameterPower: AC 220V, 50/60Hz, 8WMade in: JapanYear: 1970sCartridge/stylus: shown in the photos, exact model not specifiedThe main value of this unit is confidence.
