About us

🎧 Welcome to “Take a Shop – Japanese Vintage Turntables & Cartridges” 🎧

We specialise in serviced, ready-to-play Japanese turntables, phono cartridges and accessories.
Every unit is fully disassembled, lubricated, calibrated and voltage-checked in Kanazawa, Japan, then test-spun before it leaves our bench.

Whether you’re hunting for a pristine Technics SL-1200, a smooth-tracking Denon DL-103, or the perfect mat and dust-cover, we stock gear that lets you drop the needle and enjoy pure analogue sound the moment it arrives.

Looking for our previous range of figures, games or manga?
Those items will move to our sister store “Take a Shop 2nd” gradually as we concentrate this main store entirely on vinyl playback equipment. (The same team handles both accounts, so feel free to message us on either!)
(https://www.ebay.com/usr/take.a.shop_2nd)

Discover your next record player here, and spin with confidence – straight from Japan to your turntable stand.
We look forward to serving you!

    Good quality Came in perfect condition Good value and I also got a coupon from the seller at the time The appearance was as it should be. Overall an amazing experience with take a shop. Product was packaged well and came undamaged even tho FedEx might have handled a little rough with small scuffs.
