This is a nice 80's style Denon DP-15F turntable. It's fully automatic (tone arm moves to the record when you hit play, and off when you hit stop). I tested this turntable in my hifi setup and it's working well and sounds great. It has an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge/needle that is an upgrade over the stock cartridge (the Ortofon 2M red cartridge itself sells for around $100 new). Playing this turntable made me realize how much I need to upgrade the cartridge on my turntable I use everyday. There are a couple of scratches on top (see pictures). If I were going to keep this, I'd get a little silver paint pen and go over those scratches. Otherwise it looks nice, and very 80's.
