Re: Vertical Playing Records
The PS-F9 and F5 do t turn up very often, but when they do they go for silly money, I was after one, but gave up! The modern ones will probably be about as good as a Steepletone, which are not very good!
As mentioned above, there were vertical players from Mitsubishi and Sharp, I have a Sharp VZ3500, took a bit of work to get it going, its belt drive, so needed new belts, motor bearings needed a drop of oil too, but once working it sounded pretty good.
I also have another space saving turntable, a Sony PS-Q7, that is a direct drive turntable designed to fit with a micro system, the Sony FH series, they are about a quarter size of a record! They also turn up more often than the vertical ones, and are much cheaper too. There is a belt drive version the PS-Q3 too. If you go for one of these make sure you get one with a cartridge fitted, that also works too, as they are impossible to find on their own, the stylus is easy enough to find though, luckily.
