[FS] Technics SL 1210 turntable (Significantly upgraded.)

[Progmeister]

£700

This deck is in full working order and superb cosmetic condition, it has been extensively upgraded to include:
Real Wood Veneer top deck.
Brand new Technics Lid/hinges.
Upgraded external PSU.
Upgraded on board Regulator.
Ebony Arm board by Magna Audio (Rega Fit).
Rega RB250 Arm (+ Cardas Rewire)
Michell Technoweight
Michell VTA adjuster.
Upgraded platter bearing.
You can see the project build and more pictures here: https://www.jkwynn.co.uk//Tech2_HTML/Tech2_Thumbs.html
Note: the Orange Acrylic mat and Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge pictured are also included. The cartridge has a replacement stylus, with only about 60 hours use.
Used stock SL-1200/1210 Mk II go for between £500 and £800 on eBay. This unit has had that amount spent on upgrades.
This really is a spartan piece of kit and sounds great too. I am happy to demonstrate the turntable. Pick up is preferable from TS25 (Teesside area) as I do not want to trust a courier service with this delicate item. Paypal, bank transfer or cash payment please. I would consider meeting up within a sensible distance from my home

Wow that's a thing of beauty mate. I don't suppose a halfway meet is possible as I'm near Aylesbury?

Love it. But no pitch control!

You only need that if you are planning to be a DJ

I actually think this is a bargain!, getting a tremendous deal as theres a lot of work gone into it , if I didn’t already have one similar I’d have jumped at it. Should sell quick for sure all the best. That bearing looks the business wish I had one on my deck as I’ve just got the standard one , this reminds me of applied fidelity bearings which cost a fortune a few years back. All the stuff on that website seems amazingly well done, fantastic isn’t even close!.

That’s very nice, I have no need nor use for a turntable but I’d have that just so I can clean and polish it, then sit down with a beer, perhaps a joint as well and stream some music whilst staring at it

Interesting.

Yes, no good if you want to scratch or dj with it. It majors on sound quality and precision. Thank you for looking though.

This will be a very good turntable at a very good price for somebody (sadly not progmeister's girlfriend).

Well, I do have a pair and yes, that's what I use them for.
