There are a number of different PL-55 versions including the PL-55, PL-55X, PL-55D, PL-55DX, PL-55DXF, and PL-55XF and others. I believe the later, early 80s F designated tables are belt driven. I also believe that the D designation means the table was wired for use with the CD-4 Quadraphonic decoder. The X designation was the PL-55 table with slightly better specs such as a strobe light and a static balanced tone arm. PL-55: Offered from 1973-1975 and retailed for about 260.00. Direct Drive, Semi-auto. Cartridge: PC-50. PL-55D: Offered from 1973-1975 and retailed for about 270.00. Same as PL-55 except for cartridge. Cartridge: PC-Q1 PL-55DX: Same as Pl-55D except it has low capacitance wiring for quadraphonic play. Here are the specs for the PL-55X: Type: direct drive Motor: brushless DC servo motor Speeds: 33 and 45rpm Wow and flutter: 0.05 wrms Rumble: 58dB Platter: 310mm aluminium alloy Tonearm: static balance type, s-shaped, pipe arm Effective length: 221mm Cartridge weight: 4 to 14g Overhang: 15.5mm Dimensions: 480 x 410 x 185mm Weight: 11.3kg The PL-55X utilizes a low mass S shaped tonearm as well as an anti-skating mechanism, built in strobe, damped tonearm cueing and variable pitch controls. The Pioneer PL-55 line is pretty popular for mid range turntable users. There have been some complaints about the cueing mechanism and auto return but not anything that cant be overcome. Some prefer quartz lock tables as opposed to the PL-55Xs servo motor as well. Still, this is a good performing table when maintained properly. The PL-55X will sell from about 75.00 at the low end up to 400.00 for a fully restored unit.

If interested let me know i have pics and probably could do a short vid of it playing or i will just put it on ebay guess thats best way but takes time. Turntable will start when you slide the lever but the lever wont catch in the on position. Pioneer Pl 550 How To Fix ItAnyone have any ideas on how to fix it. I cant play right now. Reply. There are a lot of techs and enthusiasts there that are familiar with almost every model. Could just be the old grease has hardened and isnt allowing the mechanism to work properly. In which case it would just need taken apart and given a good cleaning. Needs a new mat as the current has gone very brittle, I may try a Toner or similar (acrylic crystal or perspex). Any idea where I could offer for sale I am UK based. Regards. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Comments are manually moderated and may not show up immediately after posting.
