Vintage 1976 Technics SL-23 Belt Drive Semi-Automatic Turntable Near Mint

Near mint condition, would be mint but there are the usual light scratches here and there on the dust cover, although very minimal. This turntable was last serviced 2 years ago with a new belt installed at that time. Recently cleaned the pitch control pots with Deoxit, keeps speed perfectly.

Primary use of this turntable back in the day was to transfer vinyl records over to cassette tape. Approx 75 records were transferred then it was stored until now. Not a whole lot of use on the player. Comes with a Shure M91ED MM cartridge and stylus. You would be hard pressed to find another SL-23 in this condition.

The Technics SL-23 is a high-quality, belt-driven turntable with a newly developed FG (frequency generator) servo-controlled DC motor with IC.

The unit features fabulous wow, flutter and rumble rating and has low power consumption for greater efficiency.

The static-balanced, S-shaped tonearm has the benefit of automatic return/shut-off, and has a MM cartridge combined with the head shell for high compliance support and good channel separation.
