    The original Technics SL1200 was introduced in 1972 and featured a servo-controlled direct-drive mechanism and EPA-120 tonearm.
    When Technics introduced the original SL-1200 direct drive turntable, it made all other turntables seem antiquated in comparison.
    It became a strong favorite among audio purists, amateur and professional, and was particularly popular in discos because of its rugged construction, easy handling, high torque and good immunity to feedback.
    This is an early SL-1200 which is rather collectible by the audiophile community verse the DJ audience.
    Height adjustment: Assembly removed, Cleaned (degreased), and new grease was applied.  Anti-skate control: Spring was readjusted to ensure the anti-skate function was functional.  Calibration: The speed/pitch control function has been cleaned and lubed.  Tonearm was set up, VTA tuned and main bearing lubed.
    Pro packaged, insured and includes tracking.  No PO Boxes.  No accessories.  Thank you.
