How much do you think the M3 or M2 will fetch over there, Joel?

Not always a good thing:

Anyway, any fule know that the SL-10 is the one to have ;-)

Judging by the amount of them available second hand, their new sales must have been low. I wonder how many they sold over the years? The best selling tt? Edit: Just read the second link. 3.2M units.

The other deck I'd like to hear is the SL-M3. Or maybe the SL-M2 with a linear arm (Opus 3 Cantus, perhaps)

Interesting thread, Mike. Calls into question the value of multi k power amps and, I suspect, preamps (tbc). My own recent experiences lead me to believe we missed out on so much good kit due the 'Jap crap' dogma of the past.

Lol. I sold my SME 10 with the intention of tracking down a minty second hand 20. Work, house, 6 year old and not finding the right 20 straight away led to a few months without vinyl replay which led me, in dia need of a break from digital, to the SL-10 as stop gap player. Now,...well, now I'm...

I can see why you keep one in your arsenal, Guy. Amazing thing.

I ended buying another SL-10. Dunno why. Infectious nature of this thing, maybe. Anyway, as they would say around these parts, 'I dropped on'. This one is mint. Really, mint. It shows very little sign of use at all and is as smooth as silk in all functions. The seller told me it was used by...

Are you the same valvehead from Vinyl Engine? How is the Hob-e grease working out? I may get some. Cheers, Lee

This went for more than I expected.

So, what work can be done on the EPS310mc? Retip, new cantilever, suspension, coils??

The Shure V15 is doing well (it was over £100 in '80, so no throwaway item) but I do want to try a 310. Another SL-10 will probably be the way to get one. There are more SL-10s lurking within PFM than I thought!!

Enjoy the Rega.

Good post, DSJR. From memory I can't see a Rega 3 getting anywhere near one of these (not even in the ball park if a Rega cartridge is involved!) Would Esco work on the Technics cartridges?
