Technics SL-1500 Direct Drive Turntable Serviced Upgraded Tested w/ Cartridge

Offered here is a very clean original Technics SL-1500 direct-drive turntable, made in Japan by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

This unit has been serviced and upgraded and has been in regular personal use for approximately two years. It has performed reliably with no known operational issues.

The direct-drive motor runs smoothly and maintains stable, accurate speed. Both 33 and 45 RPM operation function properly, along with the individual pitch controls and illuminated strobe.

The turntable has also been upgraded with high-quality RCA output cables and a separate upgraded ground lead.

Included:

• Technics SL-1500 turntable
• Technics cartridge and stylus
• Removable headshell
• Clear hinged dust cover
• Turntable Lab platter mat
• Upgraded RCA output cables
• Upgraded ground lead

Cosmetically, this is an exceptionally clean example for its age. The aluminum top plate, controls, lettering, tonearm assembly, and dust cover all present very well. There is only light cosmetic wear consistent with normal vintage use.

This is a known, regularly used, functioning turntable—not an untested unit that was simply powered on for resale.

Selling only because I upgraded to a Technics SL-1200MK2.

The turntable will be carefully packed for shipping, with the platter, counterweight, and headshell/cartridge removed and individually protected.
