The Technics SL-D3 is a fully automatic, very solid and heavily built record player with an excellent performance that you can enjoy for years to come. As you can see in the pictures, this item is in very nice condition. The player only has slight signs of wear, which is exceptional for a turntable from 1979/1980. The dust cover is also still in very beautiful condition and only has some light scratches. The SL-D3 is a fully automatic record player: with a push of the button, the platter starts and the arm automatically goes to the beginning of the record. The arm automatically returns at the end of the record and the platter stops. There also is a repeat feature. So it is very easy to use! Comes with excellent Technics 270C cartridge and almost new needle. The adapter for 45 rpm singles is included. Provided with a beautiful RCA cable with gold plated plugs. With the famous quick starting Direct Drive system by Technics, in which the spinning plateau is a part of the motor. Advantage of this is that it is maintenance free and you will never have to replace a belt. Will be carefully packaged and sent by registered mail in case of shipping.
