Technics - SL-1600 MK2 auto Record player

Very rare fully working masterpiece of Technics!
It's my daily driver also, the beste ever made in my opinion.
The 1600mk2/1610mk2 are the sisters of the 1200mk2's, you get professional performance with this mk2 serie.
This beauty contains full automatic features and a double-isolated suspension system.
One damps out vibration from the base, the other from the tonearm and platter.
that's why it does sound out of the box a bit better than the SL-1200mk2.
To bad those where only in production for 2 years!

You simply can't go wrong with one of those tables after a service job.



Very heavy direct drive turntable.
With floating platter for best noise rumble decoupling.

This is Technics quality, all functions works correct and smooth.
New lift belt (funny to see the handle moving automatically.
RPMs are correct
Polished dustcover
Arm height lubricated and works fine.

Stylus sounds perfect, it's almost new.

With stroboscope and pitch control.

Carefully shipped
Little signs of use on the sides, pictures are part of the description.
