Technics SL-1200 mk2 find.

Boomboxery friends i present to you an early in the morning find from this past Sunday.
No introduction needed because this is the industry standard the Legendary Technics SL-1200 MK2.
There wasnt a section with ''other finds'' so i am posting it in the general chat section.
Its not in the best condition, missing a lot of parts like the spindle, the tonearm, the dustcover
the armrest the 45 rpm adaptor and maybe more but for 30 e i had to get this poor fella back home.So i did.
I couldnt just leave it there.
Its with a humble experienced technician guy an expert with turntables
right now and hopefully in my hands fully restored in about a week.

Here is a pic on how it looked yesterday.




Ofcourse there will be a picture uploaded when this baby will be with me again
just for the shake of the before and after pic.
Never opened a turntable before and i wouldnt want to mess up with it

I also saw a mini hitachi among others.

I have a knockoff Audio Technica 120LP that works amazing. I inherited a bunch of my moms old records some of which are Greek and I remember when I was a kid when she played them. Those Technics turntables go for big money these days. The poor little Hitachi is just screaming to be rescued from its surroundings!

Nice finds deech, the 6700 is pretty rare these days.

Just in case!

I found 2 of these in working condition at the junk yard in a van , the owner gave them to me for free and i sold both on eBay within 5 minutes of listing them. Made damn good money but the shipping was hard and they made it OK .

Thanks for the links with the spare parts you guys !
Thank you also for the nice words. It is still with the technician, a lot of work to do
but it will come back to life plus it will come with a new head and a new dustcover !
Cant wait to post some pics of it fully restored.

the dust cover can run at least $100.00 us and most times more than that.

As i promised exactly 7 months(better late than never!) ago here is a picture
just for the shake of how it looked before and how it looks after
I posted this find which it seamed ruined.
Finally the Legendary Technics SL-1200 MKII its back in my hands !
I am really excited to have the King of Turntables fully restored doing its
thing once again. After a pandemic and a lot of patience the tech found the parts
missing, cleaned a spilled drink from the 80s from the inside and i found a used dustcover.
All in all this costed nearly 200 e.
I am sure it will play records for many years to come.

Can't go wrong with a SL1200
Enjoy it

Nice Technics!
