The Philips 877 is a vintage servo controlled belt-drive turntable, also known as the AF 877, that was produced between 1978 and 1981. It features a "Direct Control" system that uses a servo and a tacho sensor to maintain accurate speed, making it comparable to direct-drive turntables. Key features include touch controls for speed selection, individual pitch controls for each speed, a built-in stylus force gauge, and a suspended chassis for vibration dampening. This unit is equipped with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge ($100 value) The unit was tested and serviced by DALAUDIO and is in good working condition.
