I have three of these available, as you can see in the last photo. They vary in price based on condition and cartridge installed. (EDIT - the mid priced one is sold!)
Just put the record on and press start!
The condition is overall very good, with minimal light scuffs and scratches on the body and dust cover; the upper lid has heavier scratches. Overall, I would rate this a solid 7 out of 10. I sold a perfect SL-7 for $1200 - this one is priced on the condition of the scratches and repairs.
The ground cable was too short, I extended it. Also, one of the tabs holding the dust cover to the latches was broken. I fixed it with steel-infused epoxy. It is smaller than a dime, as you can see in the close up on photos 11-12. And yes, Canadian dimes are the same size ;)
The cartridge is a nice Technics EPC-P28 with an original elliptical stylus in excellent condition.
A heavy, solid beast the size of a record jacket, weighing in at a hefty 15.75 pounds.
Do NOT buy one of these tables unless it has been serviced, or you plan to service it yourself! The original petroleum lubricant is almost always a thick, goopy mess, and the arm drive belt is almost always loose, stretched out, dry and brittle.
This one has been disassembled, cleaned out of all old grease and lubricants, and re-lubed. The synthetic lube should last decades.
The worm and cog gearing has been inspected, cleaned, and re-lubed. It wears a new drive belt for the tonearm.
Electronically, this table has virtually the same design as the more expensive SL-10, minus a moving coil pre-pre-amplifier.
The original spring and rubber feet are in surprisingly awesome shape!

Please note! All record players need a phono pre-amp, an amplifier or receiver, and speakers. You can get modern powered speakers with built-in pre-amps. Or powered speakers with a tube pre-amp. You can use vintage gear with built-in pre-amps. Or separate pre- control- and power amps. You can get USB pre-amps to attach to your computer. There are more combos out there than there are used cars to buy - But you need something!
