Technics SL-1301 Turntable, PLEASE READ!!. SL-1301...Quartz lock direct drive and fully automatic operation. On board is a Grado (Gold???) cartridge …the cantilever has a slight kink in it…nonetheless, it sounds very good. I completely disassembled this machine and did a meticulous deep cleaning...removed/replaced all lubricants...cleaned the switches..cleaned the speed controllers.…added fresh dampening oil…lubricated the spindle...and sound/functions tested this for a couple of days now. All functions work as designed. Condition: the base is ok with considerable marks and scratches here and there (pics)..…the platter is good with a considerable oxidation …I replaced a broken tonearm clip with one from a D2 model (fit trimmed and glued)…... the mat is good and works fine—I repaired the center hole with a rubber washer on the underside…the cover is good with two repaired cracks at each hinge point…there’s also some surface swirling and scratches…..the original feet are good(I replaced the felt bottoms)..….please check the pictures to verify condition of this machine. Taken altogether this certainly has cosmetic flaws …but is fully functional….good cartridge ….offered at a reduced price due to condition….built Technics tough. I will ship, at the buyers expense, utilizing FedEx to any of the contiguous 48 states. I pack with great care and fully insure for shipping. I use heavy duty boxes reinforced with foam board in the corners. Believe me when I say I Don’t want transit damage more than you don’t. Due to the age of this device and the uncertain nature of vintage electronics this device is being sold AS IS with no returns. This is NOT a new machine...as such, it does not come with any guarantee implied or written. This machine will come partially disassembled. You will need to mount the platter—and the drive belt in belt drive machines—the counterweight..and in some cases the anti-skate weight. DO NOT operate the machine without first properly balancing and setting the appropriate tracking weight. If you do not know how to do this there are tutorials available on YouTube, or you can call me and I’ll walk you through it. I appreciate your interest…….please check my other listings….and VINYL ON!
