Technics - SL-Q3 Quartz-Locked Direct-Drive Fully Automatic Turntable

I propose this reliable and sought-after Technics SL-Q3 turntable, equipped with direct drive and quartz lock for stable and precise rotation. This model stands out for its fully automatic tonearm, which autonomously handles the start and end of playback, offering practicality and protection for the vinyl.

Built in metal and durable materials, it is a robust and long-lasting turntable, perfect for both collectors and for daily use with high-quality audio. This turntable maintains a perfect and stable speed, with virtually zero wow & flutter and a silent background. The Technics SL-Q3 also comes with the original instruction manual. As many will know, this type of dust cover is hard to find intact due to the fragility of the plexiglass hinges, but this model has the cover practically perfect with only a small defect on the rear right side as evidenced by the highlighted photo. This SL-Q3 has been completely cleaned of the old and now useless greasy lubricant using cotton swabs dipped in 70% isopropyl alcohol, after which white lithium grease was applied to the mechanical parts that come into contact. The turntable will be properly packed and insured for shipping. Please study the photos carefully to avoid future problems.
