Tidy Looking PS-F5 For Sale on U.S. eBay
Saturday, January 7th, 2012
Looks fairly tidy, boxed with what looks like all the original items. Shame the photos look like they’ve been taken through an ice cube.
As I type this the bidding is up to US $224.60 and its still not met its reserve price with 6 days to go.
Seeing that manual reminds me, does anyone have one they could scan so I can share it on this site? That’d be nice.

New Purchase – Sony APM 090 Speakers
Monday, August 8th, 2011
I recently bought a pair of these portable speakers from eBay. They’re a bit rough, but they work OK. Was just doing a bit of digging around online and found this image on AudioIdiots from the German 1984 Sony brochure:
They sound pretty good for their size. Powered by a 6 V AC adapter or 4 x C cells in the left hand speaker which houses the amplifying circuitry. I was initially a bit stumped as to why the right hand speaker also had a battery cover, space for 4 cells and the metal contacts for the speakers until I noticed a sticker stating “Put the spare batteries here”! So it’s both a way for Sony to save production costs by only having one moulding they used for both speakers and a way to carry a spare set of cells should you wish. I guess the metal springs & contacts are to stop the cells rattling around in there. The leads are both integral (main signal in and lead from right speaker which plugs into the left speaker with a mono 3.5mm jack. There’s room for them to stow away under the battery doors so they’re neat when not being used. They’ve also got wall hanging points, so I could mount them either side of my wall hung PS-F5 if I was so inclined…
Sadly I didn’t receive the carry handle, but happily both have their original “It’s a Sony” sticker.

What is the PS-F5 & PS-F9 Cartridge? (It’s not P-Mount)
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Well, having wondered for a while about the type of cartridge used, I had read somewhere that it was a P-Mount (also known as T4P), which was a standard mount used by Technics and other Japanese manufacturers on some of their turntables in the 80s. I’m now certain it’s something else.
I saw this UK eBay listing for a P-Mount with a decent photo:
This is what a VL-44G cartridge from a PS-F5 turntable looks like (with stylus installed):
The difference is plain to see
So the question remains, is there another Audio Technica model number that these cartridges go by? That would surely help in tracking down replacement/ upgrade cartridges. The quest continues…

New(ish) PS-F5 for sale on U.S. eBay
Monday, October 4th, 2010
This is being sold as new, only out of the box once to photo & test.
What doesn’t quite add up to me is why the seller would have removed the It’s A Sony sticker from the front of the player and stuck it on the cardboard box. Weird. Anyway, I guess you could try to stick it back on, but I doubt it would go back all that cleanly.
So if money’s no object and you want an almost Fresh-Out-the-Box clean example, throw in a bid now.
Update:
It only received one bid, but sold for US $1,200.00!
