Spring cleaning special!

I just Reduced the Price of this turntable $100!

This is an even more of an Excellent price now!

This Turntable is basically the Bigger Brother of the famous SL-1200 DJ Turntable.  It has the same motor and internal components as the famous SL-1200 butvis designed for a Home audio application! And, it is a fraction of the price of the SL-1200 series!

This turntable is more for Home Audio use than playing out in a commercial setting as a DJ, but the internal components are exactly the same as the SL-1200!

The cartridge is a High output Stanton cartridge for Home Audio use!

Amazing sounding turntable!

Excellent looking turntable!

Worry free!

The only moving part is the platter!

Fully Manual Technics turntables last longer than those with all sorts of features like auto start and auto return!

Less things, less things to go wrong or need repair!

This Model of vintage Technics turntable blows away the modern Fully Manual counterparts such as: Pro-ject Fluence U-turn and others!

I guarantee you will be pleased with the look and function of this high quality vintage Technics SL-1500!

PLEASE NOTE: I Provide Reverb Safe Shipping RSS with everything I sell and ship. And, I pay for this protection out of my own pocket. Sometimes it can cost me in excess of $60 depending on the item being protected. I believe this Excellent Technics SL-1500 costs me around $30 to insure! This coverage protects both you, the buyer, and me, the seller, against loss or damage during shipment. And, I never sell ANY of my items "As-Is". All my items are guaranteed to look and function as advertised or I will gladly accept a return. What other sellers provide that kind of service? The answer is: Very few, take a look and see!

Meticulously taken care of all these years!  Clean inside and out! Functions flawlessly!

This Turntable is Super Clean I would even say Near Mint, but I don't want to overgrade it! So, I will designate the Condition as Excellent!

ONLY ONE ON REVERB!

One, Rare, Hard To Find, Fully Manual, 2-speed, Direct Drive Turntable. Comes equipped with a New, Old Stock, Audio Technica, AT Stereo Cartridge with an OEM AT stylus! Replacement styli are readily available elsewhere online for around $40-$80 and those are Good but aftermarket! The Original stylus for this cartridge is Rare and sounds Amazing and is worth around $120 alone!

Rare and Hard to Find cartridge but with an easily replaceable Stylus (Needle). Amazing sound!

THE TECHNICS SL Series Turntables are the workhorses of the turntable industry, especially the SL-1200 to the SL-1800.

These turntables are bulletproof!

Perfect for the beginner or seasoned professional! This turntable is versatile.  It can be used in both a home audio and even in a DJ, club-type environment!

Excellent Cosmetically and Mint Functionally. It looks and works like new. There are probably only a few small imperfections throughout, a few on the base and on the dustcover combined!  I have taken this unit completely apart and lubricated the tone arm and all the pots. It works flawlessly! It has an OEM, Technics, Made In Japan Magnesium head shell, mounted with gold tipped leads (wires) and this Amazing sounding cartridge!  The Cartridge and Head shell combo is worth around $250 alone. This is a Rare model of Technics turntable, made in only the years of 1977-1978. The sleek styling and minimalistic design makes this turntable a Rare and Unique find!

I continually offer Rare, High-end Turntables on Reverb because they are very sought after these days! I sell an average of three turntable each and every month on Reverb, and why? because of their consistent sound and worry-free performance!

In General, what follows are the shipping parameters! Please Note: This following shipping timetable is a guideline and not set in stone. Extenuating circumstance from the shipper or from my personal life can sometimes delay shipment. Things like delays due to Covid-19 which impacts staff shortages and supply chains, multiple buys on this platform in a short amount of time for example, 10 items sold in a 7-day period, or the illness of a child or my own illness or a fire or flood or an earthquake. I understand that most of the latter types of these occurrences are rare. But, even Huge insurance companies allow for Force Majeure (look it up). And, please understand that I am only one person and if you want the rare vintage item you bought to arrive in the same condition it left me, it will take time to pack it and ship it right! And, if something happens like an extenuating circumstance, it will take a little more time to ship! Thank you for your understanding!

So, in general, if bought and paid for Monday through Thursday, I will ship out within 72 hours (business days, not Weekends). If bought Friday, Saturday or Sunday I will ship out no later than the following Wednesday! I don't quickly or sloppily pack and ship. I agonize over picking the proper packing materials and proper boxes which I buy for the item AFTER the item is sold. I have dozens of vintage audio items available for sale and I DO NOT HAVE THEM PACKED AND READY FOR SHIPMENT BEFORE THEY ARE SOLD, I DON'T DO IT LIKE THAT! I AM NOT AMAZON OR A LARGE ONLINE COMPANY, I AM A SOLE PROPRIETOR OF A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINTAGE AUDIO ITEMS THAT MY FAMILY COLLECTED OVER 60 YEARS. When you receive your turntable in the same condition as it left me, you will thank me! Please, look at my feedback regarding Packing and Shipping! Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable If you buy 2 or more of my Reverb items concurrently.

Ships from San Marcos, CA. Packed safely and securely. I ALWAYS use the (RSS) Reverb Safe Shipping option when shipping an item I have sold in order to protect both you and me, I typically lose money on shipping because RSS costs money. The more rare or valuable an item is, the more it costs to insure! In addition, I don't ship quickly or cheaply. Why sloppily throw a vintage receiver in Excellent condition into a box or poorly wrap it so it gets damaged in transit? I DO NOT DO THAT! I am meticulous with my packaging and I agonize over choosing the proper box that is ideal for each unit. Boxes, especially ones that are the correct dimensions for the item at hand are not always easy to come by. I use high quality double walled electronics boxes especially made for shipping vintage items of this type and if one box in the proper size is unavailable, I use TWO single walled corrugated cardboard boxes, putting one box with the unit in it INSIDE another larger box with even more packing material to fully protect the unit and that especially can be costly.

So, the Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable if you bundle and buy 2 or more of my Reverb items concurrently!
