Denon 47F
Not much is documented about the Denon 47F. The best period record is HiFi/Stereo (December 1992, p.93), which logged the deck under its full model name, the DP-47F. It was a direct-drive, linear-tracking turntable priced at $450. The same buyer's-guide roundup listed the belt-drive Linn LP12 Valhalla at $1,595, so the 47F sat as a fully automatic, comparatively affordable Japanese alternative.
The listing credited the 47F with a quartz-lock magnetic-pulse speed servo, automatic record-size and speed selection for 33⅓ and 45 rpm, a die-cast platter, a polished wood base, and shock-isolating feet. After that entry the record gets thin. No full review, measured performance data, or production dates have turned up in the archive's sources.
