Pro-Ject 1

Name: Pro-Ject 1
Brand: Pro-Ject

Little is documented about the Pro-Ject 1. The research file for this model is essentially empty. No manufacturer specifications, no manual excerpts, no confirmed design details survived into the archive. What we have is one useful scrap: a 1995 price listing that places two descendants of this deck in the American market.

That listing, printed in Audio (October 1995, p.175), prices the Pro-Ject 1.2 with an ADC XI cartridge at $395, and the 1.2 E with a lift at $495 with an ADC XT cartridge. It's a small find, but it shows that by the mid-nineties Pro-Ject was selling a numbered family of budget turntables in the US, factory-fitted with ADC cartridges. The "1" designation sat at the root of that line.

Beyond that, the record is silent. The archive has no tonearm, drive type, platter, speeds, dimensions, or period review of the Pro-Ject 1 itself. If you own one and can photograph the plinth, the arm, or the badge, that would fill a real gap.

Known descendants (US pricing, 1995): Pro-Ject 1.2 w/ ADC XI — $395; Pro-Ject 1.2 E w/ lift w/ ADC XT — $495
