Technics SL-1700 Automatic Record Player (Stylus Needs Replacement)

Description

This listing is for a Technics SL-1700 Direct Drive Automatic Turntable. It comes with the original manual and the box for the original Audio-Technica AL-13e cartridge. The cartridge itself is also included but the needle needs to be replaced because the diamond tip is missing. It will ship playable but the audio will sound scratchy. The cartridge was tested with a magnetic preamp with no issue.
The dust cover has significant cosmetic damage. There is a crack in the back right side (as shown in the pictures). Super glue was used in an attempt to fix it and it ended up covering most of the cover in a white film (also shown in the photos). It also has a few scratches. Structurally it is secure.
The turntable has been in storage for the past 15 years. We played it for over an hour to test it and everything seemed to work great (except for the needle issue mentioned above).
The turntable will be shipped via USPS or if you're in the Philadelphia area, you can pick it up for free. Please message with any questions!
Note: The demo video linked below has no audio.
