Description

Technics SL-1800 Turntable, AT15S Cart, New Cover/Caps, Beautiful Sound!!. Condition is "Used".
Here’s a nice Model 1800....direct drive and manual operation—meaning you cue up the tonearm at the beginning and at the end of play. On board is an Audio Technica AT15S cartridge....this combination sounds beautiful . I completely disassembled this machine and did a meticulous deep cleaning...removed/replaced old grease.. cleaned the pots and switches..added fresh dampening oil..replaced the electrolytic capacitors with Nichicon replacements...lubricated the spindle.. and sound/functions tested this for at least an hour or two. Everything works as designed...speeds dial in nicely. Condition is excellent throughout with a few marks on the base (please zoom in on the pics to verify condition)..the platter has just a few spots with oxidation.. the mat is soft and pliable..the stylus looks like it has plenty of play left....the cover is new aftermarket from JnB Audio—I added plexi shims at the hinges as the cover is just a bit long in the front..all four feet are good. Taken altogether this is a beautiful 1800...these are getting harder to find..but this one’s super clean..it comes with the highly acclaimed 15S cartridge..built like a tank.
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 double walled 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!!
