Is anyone here interested in vintage Sony Biotracer turntables , I have a PS-B80 which was Sony’s top of the line direct drive TT back in 1981, I fitted a brand new Dynavector XX2 cartridge, superb condition and works perfectly but I never use it.
An old cliché but I would it to go to someone who is actually going to enjoy it

That is a wonderful looking turntable. With Sony's fantastic engineering and ability to make fantastic mechatronics I would hazard a guess that this baby will last a long time.

Sony PSB-80 “Biotracer” bump, Sony’s state of the art and easily most expensive turntable back in 1981, it’s a lovely thing in excellent condition but I just don’t use it.


We are in North London collection preferred.

Some interest but still available, Sony’s PS-B80.
Please note that the turntable in the Vintage knob has the rosewood plinth surround which is pretty mine is plain grey.

I really would like someone to use and cherish this rare turntable

The turntable is in excellent condition, I need to dust it more often.

Sony PS - B80 ‘Biotracer’ Sony’s top of the line direct drive turntable from 1981 ish.
Works perfectly and is in really excellent condition.
The PS-B80 is quite rare because they were super expensive.
I would really like this turntable to be enjoyed.
Collection from London preferred but not essential.

Hello. I am certainly interested in the turntable. Would be a great complement to the vintage Sony ES system I have built and am now moving to an audio room. How can I contact you?
