The CP‑700M is a manual direct‑drive turntable produced by Onkyo between 1976 and 1979. Some say it was built for Onkyo by C.E.C., along with the Pioneer PL-71, sharing certain components with the C.E.C. BD-7000.
It features robust construction—heavy, well‑isolated, and durable.
A direct‑drive motor with independently selectable 33/45 rpm speeds, pitch control, and an illuminated stroboscopic speed indicator.
An S‑type tonearm with antiskate and VTA adjustment.
