I randomly discovered it through an eBay search and saw that they were a very sought after item, commanding a premium price for a working model. Prices were anywhere from $100-200 US if broken, skyrocketing to $300-$600 or more for a working model. Accessories, the original box, manual, carry case, etc. all increased the price.<br><br>One item that is usually missing from the turntable is the U-shaped dust cover that went over the top. These were probably easily lost or even broken over the 30+ years. Since there is not source for original dust covers any longer, I took it upon myself to recreate the dust cover for the Sony PS-F5 and make it <a href=\"http:\/\/shpws.me\/Khln\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available for sale on Shapeways (a 3D printing manufacturer).<\/a> You can purchase the dust cover in black or white strong and flexible plastic.<br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/shpws.me\/Khln\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to Sony PS-F5 Dust Cover on Shapeways<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing the Sony PS-F5&#8211; a very unique turntable created in 1983 around the same time as the Walkman.
