One of the rarest Technic turnables around: SL-01! Sold form private collection. A true little hefty gem from the golden age. Technically in flawless condition, optically some wear and tear due to its age, please see photo's. This may not be a dealbreaker since the SL-01 is extremely difficult to find and should find its way to a serious collection. It concerns a 'Japan only' model, so it was sold only Japan. So it's a a 100v model, but 220v transformer is included in the deal. Please notice that the headshell and element are not included, nor is the cover. Some words from the Vintageknob: Technics SL-01 Very rare iteration of the Technics line(s) of abundantly bestselling turntables This one seems like an equivalent to the contemporary (and magnificent) Pioneer PL-1800: a very well dressed up mid-end LP spinner, the Pioneer being more high-end and more beautiful. Good ingredients: EPA-100-derived tonearm (if distantly) and Technics' sturdy DD motor, plus a solid name to boot which sounds like PX-1 , PL-L1 or... SE-A1 ! Surprising ingredient : the start/stop pad is made of polished wood !
