Is the Yamaha PX 3 a linear tracker?

The PX 3 gets daily duty and what a joy it is to use and listen to. Yamaha really pulled out all the stops on this one. It is very apparent that Yamaha decided early on with this design to build a linear tracker that kept the promise of such a design and no doubt they were succesful.

Is the Yamaha PX 3 a Phono turntable?

Was fortunate to find a NOS Yamaha PX 3 Linear Tracking turntable. It also came with a very fine Yamaha 705 Low Output Moving Coil phono cartridge. Yamaha did make another one of these called the PX 2. By the size,weight and construction Yamaha appeared to have spared no expense on this project and it shows very well indeed.

How much does a Yamaha PX-1 turntable weigh?

Very heavy at about 50 lbs, but nothing compared to the PX-1 for the Japanese market that weighed in at 100 lbs. That was the one I wanted! Yamaha might be able to still get parts out of Japan as I later saw a picture of a PX-1 in a magazine and I think PX-2 continued there as well. Someone here with Yamaha would have to be willing to research it.
