One-time price drop - this is as low as I can go!!

Technics SL-1500 MK2 

Direct Drive Manual Turntable

This table is in excellent, clean condition, as the pictures show, and all functions work perfectly.      Speed is dead-on, and the notorious cueing lever works.      The headshell is practically new, and the table is super clean but for a couple of tiny scratches.        The dust cover works perfectly, and is clean, with very light general use surface scratches, as seen in the pictures.

The feet, always a weakness of the 1500, have been replaced by Vibrapod Isolators, which make a big difference in terms of isolation and sound quality (the original feet will be included).

The table has been rewired to accept custom RCA cables of your choice instead of the cheap ones that come attached with the stock table.      I have included the RCA cables pictured.

The table is available for pickup, and I am willing to meet within reason.      I can also ship the table - I have shipped many turntables, and it will be properly packed for safe shipping.


Description

Produced between 1975-78, the Technics SL-1500 comprises of an ingenious reworking of physical geometry in the basic direct-drive design concept which has greatly simplified mechanical construction without any sacrifice in performance specifications.

The result is a turntable that retains full direct drive performance capability, and concentrates it in a sleekly styled, low silhouette compact design.

In earlier Technics configurations, the platter rested in the motor.

In the SL-1500, the rotor is integrated directly into the platter and together they form the only moving part in this ingeniously uncomplicated system.

Greater precision and simpler construction are simultaneously achieved internally.

Additionally, the motor rotor is countersunk into the handsome aluminium diecast baseplate and control panel surface to create a good-looking, low profile effect.
