Technics - SL-1200MK3 Quartz-Locked Direct-Drive Manual Turntable

【Product Name】
Technics SL-1200MK3 Quartz Direct Drive Turntable – Japanese Market Vintage Model

【Description】
The Technics SL-1200MK3 is a legendary quartz direct-drive turntable introduced in Japan in 1989 as part of the renowned SL-1200 series.

Technics itself describes the SL-1200MK3 as a model that symbolised the maturation of club culture. Developed from the highly influential SL-1200MK2, the MK3 featured enhanced vibration resistance through the use of T.N.R.C. (Technics Non Resonance Compound) inside the cabinet and was designed with the evolving needs of DJs in mind. A slip mat was also supplied with the MK3 generation, reflecting its closer connection with DJ culture.

At its heart is the celebrated quartz-controlled direct-drive system, offering 33⅓ and 45 rpm operation together with continuously variable pitch adjustment of approximately ±8%. Its robust construction, precise tonearm and highly stable drive system helped establish the SL-1200 series as one of the most recognisable turntable families in audio and DJ history.

This particular example is presented in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of use and age visible. Please examine the detailed photographs for the exact cosmetic condition.

The following functions were confirmed to operate: power, audio output, platter rotation, speed switching, indicator lamps, arm lifter, pitch control and stylus illumination.

Please note that the exact rotational speed accuracy has not been professionally measured or guaranteed.

Included with the turntable are the dust cover, Technics slip mat and original user manual shown in the photographs. As this is a vintage pre-owned item, only the accessories actually shown in the photographs should be considered included.

A particularly attractive example of an important Japanese-market SL-1200 generation, suitable both for use and for collectors of classic Technics audio equipment.
