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 and highlighted in Green):
Front panel button "Cueing Down & Up" (Front Right Of Centre location)
Only the button is provided, none of the cue control components
Plastic construction with a Silver "metallised finish" with the text printed on the top of the plastic, not infilled. While this is not as hardy as infilled text, the current condition remains very good.
No additional hardware is supplied
DIMENSIONS:
44.75mm x 15.75mm x 21.25mm Deep (2x long fingers)
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
Clean
I can see NO scratching to the front of the button nor are there any pieces "missing" such as with the SPEED button - very nice condition
NO physical damage to the body of this button at all.
I have now placed this button onto a small piece of styrofoam and sealed within clear plastic to maintain the current condition while it waits to breath life into another P200!
