FS: Technics SL-1200 Original

[shevans]

An original SL-1200, working and and good condition considering how old it is.

There are a few marks around the base but nothing major and the lid is lightly scratched but still shines. It needs a new cartridge and head shell leads. The cartridge is a Shure V15 Type IV but one channel is very low.

Hinges and lid are fully working and not broken. The lid does have a postcode marked on the front edge but its not unsightly.

Strobe working and deck holds its speed. 45rpm adapter is missing.

£150 collected from AL9 6HJ (Hatfield, Herts) or I can box and post but probably cost about £12.00.

I have added some links to pics on Flickr:

I'm guessing but I think that price is fine for what you have there.
If I was after a Technics to mod up I'd be happy starting here

Thanks for the price check / bump.

ALL this deck really needs is good isolation - feet and possibly a modern mat, something not taken into account when the 1200 and 1100 were current models - hanging the structure on cotton threads to get the specified rumble figures.......

The 1200 had a fully enclosed motor, the platter then sitting on the top of this. Later models cheapened this to have the magnet assembly affixed to the platter :)

Hope it finds a good home :)

You must be using a pishanto browser - and besides, you've bought worse than a panda at the boot sales! ;)

Just looked again and they are working now ;)

If no takers here try Ebay. You must get a lot more than £100

Is this Techie still for sale?

I'm looking for a second deck and was considering a Rega RP3 or similar but the SL1200 for £100 looks like it could be a great little project for me to tinker with.

[shevans]

Its still available.

About 35 or so miles....
Was a little hesitant about picking up such an early model but feeling more confident as I gradually read through the abundant info on here.
Now looking at places to source spares and upgrade options etc.

Could anyone confirm if the headshells common between all the 1200/1210 models please?

[Macca]

Yes - the headshells are standard.
