Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
What is specific to the Scorpions edition rather than an assumed standard T2 package?
Its own product sheet specifies a Pick it 25A, 9-inch aluminium arm with integrated headshell, spring-based anti-skating and 10 mm / 1.7 kg glass platter. The page says it is based on T2, not that every standard T2 component or package is identical.
Does the exact Scorpions edition document 78-rpm playback?
No 78-rpm mode is listed in the exact product information; it specifies electronic speed change for 33 and 45 rpm. Do not select it as a documented 78-rpm model.
Which phono input and seller package should be checked?
The official material lists an RCA cable and power supply but does not state the signal level or confirm a built-in phono stage. Ask whether the exact unit needs a PHONO input/external stage and confirm the local adapter and all carton contents before connection.
Pro-Ject’s global directory lists the Scorpions Turntable as a limited edition, and the exact manufacturer page calls it a special version based on the T2 platform. The product information and setup guide describe this particular edition’s own cartridge, arm, glass platter and accessory outline. That is enough to assess it as a real standalone turntable, but not to treat every ordinary T2 detail as interchangeable or to establish a current U.S. seller package. This is a global reference, not a claim of local availability.
A T2-based edition with its own fitted parts
The edition is described around a 9-inch, one-piece aluminium tonearm with integrated headshell and a pre-adjusted Pick it 25A moving-magnet cartridge. Its spring-based anti-skating mechanism is specifically identified by Pro-Ject. The product information also specifies a 10 mm, 1.7 kg glass platter with felt mat, a stainless-steel/brass main bearing, and electronic speed selection for 33 and 45 rpm. The page says the model is based on the T2 platform; the named cartridge and special plinth/design belong to this edition and should not be replaced in an assessment with parts from another T2 package.
Pro-Ject describes the special plinth as enlarged, CNC-machined and free of plastic components, with no hollow internal spaces. Those are the manufacturer’s construction descriptions, not measurements or listening results. The Scorpions visual treatment is part of the edition’s identity, but the art and limited-edition label do not demonstrate a different speed range or electronic feature set. The published speed specification lists 33 and 45 rpm only; no 78-rpm mode is documented for this edition.
Confirm the phono connection before pairing a system
The included-item list names an RCA cable and a 15 V / 800 mA DC power supply, but the page and specification sheet do not say whether the turntable has a built-in phono preamp or whether its RCA signal is line level. The T2-based description is not enough to fill in that field for a special package. Before connecting it to powered speakers or an amplifier, confirm whether the exact unit should use a PHONO input or an external MM phono stage; do not assume its RCA sockets accept an ordinary AUX input.
The product page gives dimensions of 465 × 135 × 347 mm with the cover closed and a net weight of 5.5 kg. Those figures help with shelf planning, but they do not include clearance to raise the lid, reach the tonearm or position the power and RCA leads. The product documentation does not describe automatic arm placement, return or an end-of-record stop, so ask for the exact operating instructions if automation is a requirement.
Package lists are not a substitute for checking the carton
The manufacturer’s product sheet lists a dust cover, felt mat, single adapter, power supply and RCA cable. The linked setup guide also illustrates an accessory bag containing a drive belt, Connect it E cable, gauge and alignment tool, and shows the glass platter and mat packed separately. The guide is useful evidence of the assembly routine, but its diagram and the sheet’s short list are not identical inventories. Check the exact seller box for the parts you need, particularly the belt, cable and setup tools, rather than assuming that an image or a shorter summary proves every item is present.
The guide directs the owner to unpack the platter and mat, fit the belt, install the platter and mat, remove transport protection, connect the RCA cable and power, and select playback speed. That sequence matters for a deck shipped partially assembled. Keep the packaging and follow the model’s instructions rather than treating the special-edition photographs as an installation guide. The available guide is a setup sheet, not a complete operation manual for every possible phono connection.
Separate the model identity from its market status
The exact product page, 2026 product-information sheet and linked setup guide support the Scorpions edition’s identity and documented configuration. The U.S. locator identifies a distributor but is not a model inventory; the global listing does not establish a local SKU, seller carton, included power plug or current U.S. offer. Confirm the model name and package directly with a seller, along with its phono-stage path and all listed parts. The page does not report sound comparisons that were tested here, ownership or measured performance. Its value as a reference is the clearly documented edition-specific hardware and the questions to settle before treating any particular offer as a fit.
