Black Plastic Crap. Typical post 1980 gear

So a few weeks back I pulled a Bpc kenwood receiver out of the trash.. thing is though.. yes it was loud and had decent bass, but like all BPC it sounded dull and lifeless. it didn't make it threw the night at my place. a older friend of mine told me he was looking for a modern receiver with...

Re: a ghost of a turntable.. hitachi PS-33.. anyone out ther u really think the headshell is original? its the only part of this thing thats BPC style plastic. and dosent seem to fit the rest of the decor of this piece.

Re: a ghost of a turntable.. hitachi PS-33.. anyone out ther yep. both places and others. and have came up empty handed. ive seen TTs close to this one, but not this model. it seems to truly be a forgotton obscurity.
