Trio Belt-Idler Drive Turntable Model 400M for sale. Trio is better known as Kenwood outside of Japan. The Kenwood L-07D Direct-Drive Turntable is regarded as one of the top DD turntables of all times & showcases the engineering expertise and heritage of Trio-Kenwood in designing & making excellent turntables.

Less well-known outside of Japan is that Trio-Kenwood also made a number of turntables with Belt-Idler Drive mechanism. The 400M is the top model of this range. Its design and build quality are remarkable and compare very favourably with those of the Thorens TD124.

Photos of the Trio 400M for sale.





The 400M had gone through a thorough service and maintenance with the following tasks performed:
•      Main spindle and idler drive wheel spindle stripped apart, cleaned, lubricated and re-assembled.
•      New thrust pads made of Litnum Vitae [self-lubricating and much more durable than Teflon or Delrin] are put in and immersed in synthetic oil
•      Motor bearing oil baths topped up [soaked up 2 fillings]
•      Rubber idler wheel refreshed with several coats of rubber renue
•      Original silicone belt cleaned.

The turntable comes with a smoked acrylic cover which has some crazing due to age and a few scratches. There are cracks near the hinges.

In its current state, the 400M plays records with no discernible mechanical noises. Rotation of the platter is very smooth, level, and stable – providing the firm foundation for the tonearm and cartridge to work their magic. The tonearm is a Fidelity Research FR54. Do note that no cartridge or head shell is included in this deal.

This is a Japan Domestic Model which works off AC100V. An appropriate step-down transformer would be needed to operate it in Singapore.

If you’re keen to add this turntable to your collection, please make a serious offer to 9689-5432 (WhatsApp). Local sale only.

Audition is welcomed at the Clementi area. Cheers and thanks for reading.
