Technics SL-5350 Quartz Direct Drive Turntable, made in Japan in the late 1970s to early 1980s, is in good physical condition and tested, working and fully automatic with 33/45 RPM operation; cartridge is not included and it requires a step-down transformer for some countries.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A refined example of Japanese analog engineering, the Technics SL-5350 Quartz Direct Drive Turntable, manufactured in Japan during the late 1970s–early 1980s, a golden era of precision audio equipment.
This model represents Technics’ commitment to stability and accuracy, featuring a quartz-locked direct drive system combined with fully automatic operation—making it both technically advanced and exceptionally user-friendly.
The clean silver finish, combined with its minimalist industrial design, delivers a timeless aesthetic highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles across Europe.

■Key Features


Quartz-locked direct drive motor for highly stable rotation


Fully automatic operation (start / stop / cueing)


Speed selection: 33 / 45 RPM confirmed


Precision tonearm system


Made in Japan (Technics quality era)



■Condition


Power confirmed


Rotation at 33 and 45 RPM confirmed stable


Audio output tested using a test cartridge (working)


All control buttons (start / stop / cueing / pitch) respond correctly


Cosmetic condition is very good for its age, with minor signs of use.
Dust cover shows light scratches consistent with age.
Please refer carefully to all images for exact condition.

■Important Notes


Cartridge is not included (tested using our own equipment)


This unit operates on AC 100V (step-down transformer required in some countries)



■Why This Unit Stands Out
Unlike entry-level belt-drive turntables, the SL-5350 offers:


Superior speed accuracy (Quartz system)


Long-term reliability (direct drive motor)


Full automation (rare in modern units)


A strong combination rarely found at this price level, making it highly attractive for both collectors and everyday vinyl enthusiasts.

■Shipping & Handling
The unit will be carefully prepared for international shipping:


Platter secured or removed


Tonearm locked and protected


Dust cover protected separately


Double-box packaging for maximum safety



■Important Information
Import duties, taxes, and VAT are not included in the item price and must be paid by the buyer.
Please check with your local customs office before purchasing.
Additional charges may apply depending on your country.
