Technics SL-P1200 Hi-Fi Professional Broadcast CD Compact Disc Player

For Sale: A rare 1987 Technics SL-P1200 Professional Grade / Broadcast Hi-Fi Compact Disc CD player. Regarded to be one of the earliest and finest professional grade CD players made, this modern brother to the iconic SL-1200 turntables is just as robust and full of professional features that make them stand the test of time.

This has been in my storage unit for the last 15+ years. I acquired it in perfect, like new condition and was never used. I just took it out of storage where its picked up a few very minor scratches, but still is functional.

CONDITION:

The unit is functional. It powers up, CD tray spins and plays back audio. All of the buttons and features work, including the playback tempo fader. The screen is 100% functional with no (known) missing LCDs. This thing is a tank and weighs a TON. Pickup in the upstate NY/NYC metro area or be prepared to pay a ton for shipping/handling.

The cosmetic condition of the metal chassis is in good shape, with some minor light scratches and blemishes. I photographed the unit under a very bright studio light to show everything in full detail, and not hide anything. The final photo of the gallery shows it in normal everyday lighting and the unit looks near mint.

Its missing one of the damening adjustable feet. It still sits level because the foot itself is still there, but the screw-in foot is missing. It's honestly someone in my storage unit, I remember throwing it in a box when I moved – if if I find it in time, I'll update the listing.

*Note: The unit currently only spins and plays the CD when pressure is added to the CD tray. This is a common "issue" with these and is apparently a very simple fix by adjusting the CD tray lid screws and/or cleaning the tray door sensor. I don't have the desire to currently do ether, so I'm selling as is for a discount for someone else to make the simple fix to make it 100% perfect. If I decide to make a project out of this in the meantime and fix it myself, I'll adjust the price accordingly – or just keep the thing.
