My YAMAHA P200 has been on the "operating table" (workshop) but she couldn't be saved, the dust cover was damaged, platter was missing! and the headshell/cartridge had also gone AWOL. Nothing more could be done for "her" so she has become an "organ donor" in the hope that some of these parts may give new life to another P200
It's like this ...
I am very "big" on sustainability, re-using or re-purposing equipment (no matter how trivial or old it may be) because a LOT of EE (Embodied Energy) was used to create this module and to throw something like this away, poison our landfill with plastics and a myriad of other manmade substances is just so irresponsible and such a waste of expended energy. Everything we humans have created required energy (and raw materials) for it's creation and often that amount of energy (EE value) is surprisingly high (Aluminium for example). So after using those raw materials and expending considerable energy to create an item, we then throw it away, burying it in the earth! Such terrible wastage.
Let's get down to the description of this component from the P200
YAMAHA Model P200 Turntable (not the Electric Piano!)
Country of origin: Japan (this is not a Chinese assembled product)
SPARE PART ONLY - NOT THE COMPLETE TURNTABLE
Part(s) offered (as pictured)
Audio interconnection PCB (MEC 4V1) with solder pads for the fine tonearm wires connected to the cartridge and solder pads for the audio lead which takes this low level audio out to the real world. This audio lead is 90cm in length and has the 2x Japanese RCA male connectors plus a separate signal Ground wire.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
Clean
NO physical damage to the PCB, external audio lead and the RCA plugs
The two PCB mounting screws are also included.
This could be used with other turntables but keep in mind that at the point of entry to the turntable body is a moulded "grommet" which may not suit other turntables.
