Luxman P 005 (1989–1993)
A limited-production turntable from Luxman, built between 1989 and 1993. It belongs to a high-end series that includes the P-007.
Overview
The Luxman P-005 is a turntable made from 1989 to 1993. It was not mass-produced, which is why it's rare. It sits in a series with the Luxman P-007 turntable and the G-007 equalizer, so it was meant to be part of a matched system.

Market
The P-005 is considered rare and collectible. One used unit was listed for sale at A$75, so they do turn up on the secondhand market.
