La Gama near Turnpike
QR Code Link to This Post
Offered for sale is a vintage **Mitsubishi LT-22 PLL Quartz Logic Controlled Linear Tracking Turntable**, manufactured in Japan.
The LT-22 is a distinctive and beautifully engineered turntable featuring a motorized linear-tracking tonearm that moves straight across the record rather than following the arc of a conventional pivoting tonearm. This design minimizes tracking-angle error and provides accurate record playback.
Its substantial construction, sophisticated electronics, and unique mechanical design make it an appealing addition to any vintage audio system.
### Recent Maintenance & Upgrades
I have personally serviced and adjusted this turntable, including:
- **Replaced both drive belts** in the linear-tracking mechanism.
- Cleaned and lubricated the mechanical components.
- Adjusted the tonearm height and cueing mechanism.
- Adjusted the automatic lead-in position for proper stylus placement.
- Checked and calibrated tracking force using a digital stylus gauge.
- **Installed custom rubber isolation feet**, replacing the original feet for improved stability and vibration isolation.
- Tested record playback and automatic operation.
An interior photograph is included showing both replacement belts and the linear-tracking mechanism.

### Shipping & Additional Information

The turntable will be carefully packed, with the platter, tonearm, and dust cover properly secured and protected for shipment.
