About the PD277

The Luxman PD-277, produced from 1976 to 1982, is a high-quality automatic direct-drive turntable from Japan's Studio Standard Series. It employs a brushless and slotless DC servo motor for precise rotation at 33 and 45 rpm, with pitch control of ±4%. Key features include fully automatic tonearm operation via a dedicated sub-motor, mirror reflex stroboscope for speed accuracy, and a statically balanced straight aluminum tonearm. Designed for cartridges of 4-11g, it supports manual or auto modes, repeat play, and size selection for 7/10/12-inch records. Renowned for its smooth operation, low wow & flutter (<0.03% WRMS), and excellent signal-to-noise ratio (>60dB), it remains a sought-after vintage piece. Current used market prices range from $350-$700 USD depending on condition.
