Slightly-over-A4 trifold leaflet folded in three (six narrow strips) by 日本ホノモータ株式会社 (Japan Phono Motor / JP), Tokyo, late 1960s: four professional belt-drive turntables - the flagship T-425 with a twin special-alloy platter and an 8-pole hysteresis-synchronous motor, the more compact sibling T-500 with fine pitch control, the fuller T-545 with a gimbal tonearm and pitch trimmer, and the assembled players TP-601 (in a walnut cabinet) and TU-601 (the bare unit). JP was a Japanese motor and drivetrain workshop that targeted the professional segment - broadcasters and recording studios - and their machines of that era ran in the same league as Garrard 301, Thorens TD-124 and Lenco, the broadcast benchmarks just before Technics SP-10 (1969) flipped the market to direct drive. The headline technical claim across the leaflet is the first industry use of PTFE main bearings (their own PAT. PEND, Teflon from Du Pont) and the in-house fine pitch control in the belt-drive class. There are no prices on the leaflet - it’s a dealer piece with a blank “代理店” stamp area on the back.
