In so many respects the P7 turntable is a classic Rega, but it actually shares very few components with the famous old Planar models.
It has an AC motor mounted directly behind the bearing, but it's a low-voltage motor powered from an external generator, which also allows electronic speed switching. It has a short belt drive to the sub-platter, but there is actually a pair of round-section belts and the sub-platter is metal.
