Help, need some technics info....

[JohnnyDrama]

Hello,

I'm about to pick up a technics TT, but not shure if it's a SL1200 (MK?)
The seller mailed me these pictures:

On the manual it states it's a SL-D1, but that does not correspond with the pictures I can find on google...
Please let me know if this is the real deal.

Thanks !

The photo he sent you is definitely a 1200 MKII (in pretty damn good condition, too). Looks like the wrong manual. SL-D1 is a hi-fi separate turntable.

they ain't 1200's, they have a plastic chassis and no tonearm height adjustment... check google for the torque of the motor and whether ir is direct drive... if the torque is above 1.4 kg they should be okay,but if I were you I'd wait for real 1200's

The pic is a a 1200 mk2, the pic I'm showing below is a d1 so he has the wrong manual.

Just make sure that the pic is the actual turntable he's selling - it looks in DAMN GOOD condition, see if he will take a close up shot of the tonearm array for peace of mind, but strikes me its been "babied".

*edit* the more I look at the pic he sent you, I think that turntable has only been used as a hifi turntable - there's no usual wear around the pitch or buttons and the cartridge is not a "DJ" one.

Looks like 1200's to me. The tone arm height adjustment looks to be there, just not a lot of detail in the photo.

Will keep you updated...

You might get a bargain if he thinks he's got a SL-D1...

Cant see any tone-arm hieight adjustment, but the antiskate and pitchbend and 33/45 give it away to be a 1200

And id you look at the markings VERY closely and know what they look like they kinda spell out 1200MK2,

I would deffinately go for it
