Technics SL-200 Semi-Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable - EPC-270C Cartridge Description: Up for auction is a beautiful, robust Technics SL-200 vintage semi-automatic belt-drive turntable from the late 1970s. This specific model is highly regarded by audiophiles for sharing the exact high-quality S-shaped tonearm and mechanical build found in Technics' much more expensive models of the era (like the SL-1500/1700 series). Technical & Aesthetic Condition: • Serviced: The item has been cleaned and carefully re-lubricated. The auto-return and auto-stop functions work flawlessly. • Repaired Hinges: The dust cover hinges – a notorious weak point for this generation – have been fully repaired and reinforced. The dust cover stays up firmly and properly protects the unit. • Cosmetics: Clean unit with only minor, normal signs of use. A highly presentable vintage piece. • Drive: The belt is in great condition, delivering 33 and 45 RPM. Cartridge & Stylus: The turntable comes equipped with the legendary Technics EPC-270C Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge, widely praised for its warm, punchy bass and smooth mid-range. It features the iconic green EPS-270 stylus, which tracks beautifully and sounds fantastic. All photos are part of the description. Given the age of the product, its operation requires attention and caution in handling. The item will be partially disassembled and prepared for transport. The item will be properly packed and sent via Smart Shipping with insurance.
