Technics SL-1200MK5 direct-drive turntable, made for the Japanese market. Includes VCT 500W 120V-to-100V step-down voltage converter for use in the U.S.

Classic Japanese-made Technics 1200 and increasingly hard to find, especially the MK5.

Turntable powers up and mechanically has been working normally — motor, platter, pitch control, start/stop, etc.

PLEASE READ: Recently the audio began intermittently cutting out on one channel. Moving/adjusting the RCA cables would bring the channel back, so there appears to be an issue somewhere in the audio cable/connection. I have not diagnosed it and don't want to spend the time repairing it, so I'm selling the turntable AS-IS and pricing it accordingly.

Great candidate for someone comfortable servicing Technics 1200s.

Includes:

  • Technics SL-1200MK5 silver turntable
  • Technics slipmat
  • Original RCA/audio and ground leads
  • VCT VT-500J 500W Japan 100V / USA 120V voltage converter

No headshell, cartridge or stylus included.

Cosmetic condition is shown in the photos. Some normal marks/wear from age, but overall presents well.

Sold as-is.
