I just picked up an Sl-D1 today for free! It's in perfect condition and the dust cover tabs aren't broken. I brought one new in the late 70s and it served me well for many years. I've always wanted another to add to my collection. Can't stop smiling right now!
Nice. I've always wanted a Technics turntable. But I'm totally happy with my U-Turn Custom. It was a learning curve for me as well. It's not automatic with anything! EXCEPT speed control because I paid extra for it. Other than that, all manual. I was used to all automatic because of the Audio-Technica LP60X-BT I was using. I hate to hear your running outta shit to talk about, but I understand. That's why my videos are totally random! 😆
@@chrisnunya7171 Thanks! Yeah I’d always wanted one too. I was glad I was able to find one for cheap. It kinda sucks to be running out of things to talk about but I’m also glad cuz it means I’m happy with what I’ve got and don’t have to keep hunting for more gear lol! Well, unless I find a pair of Optimus T-200 speakers for a good price, in which case I’m scooping them shits up with the quickness, haha
There is someone selling his personal d2 on reverb for $380 not sure if that's fair market value or not. But it's in perfect cosmetic and performance condition. Not sure if I'll pulp the trigger on it
@@bearded_wolverine3503 That seems a bit expensive, unless it has some super fancy cartridge and brand new stylus. On eBay they average around $200 plus shipping. Though I’m really hesitant about getting a turntable shipped. I’ve heard MANY horror stories about turntables getting busted up in shipping because they weren’t disassembled and packed properly
@@bearded_wolverine3503 Yeah especially if you got a 1200 mk2 with a VM95ML for $325! (Just watched your video), I’d say that’s definitely the deal of the year!
When I was in college during the mid-70s these were ubiquitous in the dorms after the freshmen got rid of their GE Mustangs they brought from home. These were then hooked up to Harman-Kardon 330B receivers and Smaller Advents or Boston Acoustics speakers... those were the days😊!

Awesome great video, thanks for the info and explorations 👍🏾
@@chendochondocorpus6497 Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it! Do you have one of these turntables?

@TheVintageNewbie I agree, price is high and I absolutely agree that buying off ebay is a chance I don't want to take

@@tiojimmy3425 I’d imagine quite a lot of them are still going strong too!
