Technics SL-1500 – Direct Drive Turntable – 1975 – Needs Maintenance

Description:
For sale is an original Technics SL-1500 from the mid-1970s, one of the most appreciated early-generation Technics direct-drive turntables.
This is a fully manual model, very solidly built and sought after by vintage Hi-Fi enthusiasts.

The unit includes:

• original aluminum platter
• Technics rubber mat
• S-shaped tonearm with SME-type headshell
• original dust cover


Cosmetic condition:
Good overall condition with normal signs of use.
The dust cover shows superficial scratches but is intact and free of cracks.

Functional condition:

• The motor spins correctly
• The strobe markings do not remain aligned
• This misalignment is due to lack of lubrication and routine maintenance, which has not been performed in order to avoid removing the platter
(so a basic service — lubrication/adjustment — is recommended before optimal use)
• Cartridge not included


Sold as needing maintenance, but complete and mechanically original.
