Philips Turntable
Prices start around $250 depending on comedic condition, cartridge and stylus.
Some cartridges can cost hundreds of $'s.
I also have 4 additional GA 212 turntables with different cartridge's that I have just finished restoring that are all so available all with different cartridge choices some very high end ones.
Fully restored.
The sound from these are fantastic.
Walnut plinth, no cracks like new dust covers! Has new belts, new bulbs.
They have both been restored to last trouble free for years.
Excellent condition and a great example of the Philips 212 and the 213 they were one of the coolest vintage turntables made with feather touch backlit sensors for switching between speeds very cool!
Competed with tables like the ARXA and some Thorens turntables.
They have been carefully tested and is in excellent working condition.
The platter speed has been checked and calibrated for proper rotational speed.
Serviced tonearm setup including cleaning and polishing, oiling the motor and plater bearings, and the on/off switch on the 212 is new with a new upgraded switch designed just for the Philips turntables it will not break like the old ones did with age.
Description
The Philips GA212 record player features electronic speed control employing a tacho-generator, photo-electronic off switch at end of record, floating suspension of turntable and pick up arm and electronic touch controls for start, speed selection and stop.
The Philips GA213 stops and picks up the arm at end of record.
The important advantages which result from the electronic speed control are high stability of turntable speed, negligible wow and flutter and accurate speed adjustment.
Plater stops at end of record.
The slow running high-torque motor, the high quality platter bearing and the precision drive belt ensure exceptionally low rumble transmission.
The high mechanical quality of these turntables will ensure that the excellent performance is maintained over a very long period.

About the Philips GA-212 Electronic turntable
The Philips 22GA212 turntable, in short known as the Philips 212, is considered to be one of the best turntables that Philips has ever made, and it has achieved somewhat of a cult status in the eyes of audio enthusiasts and collectors.
This is because of the floating suspension, and iconic green-lit touch keys.
The Philips 212 in detail

Philips introduced the GA212 in 1971 and it was produced until 1976.
It can be instantly recognized by the green-lit touch keys.
It also has very loose suspension on both the platter and arm.
These are mounted in a “floating” sub chassis, which results in a very low rumble value.
It can play records at 33 and 45RPM.
Pitch can be independently adjusted for both 33 and 45RPM.
These were your options
The Philips 212 was factory fitted with the Philips GP400 cartridge, but could be upgraded to a GP401.
Additionally a Philips 22GH905/00 pre-amp could be built in.
Same turntable, different subsidiaries
Philips often re-badged their electronics with subsidiary brand names.
The Philips 22GA212 was also sold as the Erres RS3536 and Aristona AR8540.
Changes during production
Because the Philips 212 had a long production run of about 5 years, various small changes have been made during the production run:
Early models had simple plastic hinges, these were later replaced with friction hinges, and the dust cover rest was removed.
Early models had a power cord socket, but it was replaced with a fixed cable.
