WTD Technics SL1200/1210 MK2 TT

**twotone** · 21-05-2013, 18:23

Hi guys, I'm now actively looking for a new TT and think I want a Technics SL1200.

Budget is maybe £300 tops inc postage but would like to spend less

I've already bought a new cart, an SAE 1000LT and also a timestep psu so just need the TT and I'm good to go.

Having said that I would consider a TT with an external PSU as I could just sell the one I've just bought.

Looking for one in really nice condition that's not been wrecked by DJing

I would like a later one and preferably like the black version but silver isn't a deal breaker.

Would like the TT to come with original packaging, an arm inc headshell, maybe a decent cart and a mat.

Isolation feet would be a bonus.

A dust cover would be good but I believe that you use these TTs without the dust cover? Anyway again not a big deal but a nice one would be good.

Also open to other suggestions for different TTS but I don't want a Rega as I've already had a P3 and RB300 arm and I also don't want an old belt drive TT like the AR one that I've just sold.

I quite like the look of these below but I'm not sure if they are just a pimped up version for complete novices like me or are worth considering?

Anyway...

Thanks

unless you want a very nice looking 1210 i would avoid, that deck is no more special than any other stock deck. You can buy exactly the same deck and spec for a lot less if trawl ebay.

A shameless plug for my SL1200 in the Private Exhibitions and open to offers so plenty of money spare for pimping

Hi guys I'm now sorted for a TT subject to the seller securing a purchase he is currently pursuing.

Thanks for the replies and interest.

I may resurrect this thread if the deal falls through for any reason.
