ineresting. the tone arm lever is damped on my 3500 and yours appears to not be. If I leave the the tone arm lever down and operate the arm manually, the tone arm falls at the speed of gravity. if I drop the tone arm fast using the lever, the lever goes down but the arm takes over 1 second to lower itself. That soft landing is pretty nice. I've never opened mine, but I wonder if mine is a later/earlier version and that feature was removed? or maybe there's a cylinder in yours that needs a small amount of grease?

Good job! These help a lot.🎉

Amfi name ?

The Stanton 680EE has a great design but I sold it, I miss my cartridge & turntable ru-vid.comgZQAvjHR4XI

Nice looking, how do you adjust the speed in this type of turntable?

I bought one of these turntables back in the early 80s. Still working great, I'm using an ortofon 2m blue cartridge the sound is really good.

Beauty, I have 2 of these and one is still brand new, in the box.

What??

very nice, looks solid

If the tonearm doesn't automatically return at the end of the record, how do I fix this?

Roger Is there a list I can go to where I can see what cartridge/stylus system is compatible with the SL D202? I pulled my SL D202 out of storage that I purchased 2nd hand on-line, around 7 years ago but never really played it. Then had to put it back in storage. Today checking the stylus tip with my finger and it was not sharp at all, so I'm sure it's very worn out. I'll need a new shell/cartridge and stylus. Been checking on line all over for the service manual so i can see what cartridges are compatible, to no avail. How did you know the Empire LTD 400 cartridge was compatible? There must be a list of at least 5-7 of them that would be good There are no Technics/Panasonic service centers in my area. I'm in Ohio. Hope you can help.

Nice sound! I have this cartridge and I put it to the test against a Grado Black and the R27E was much more volume and clarity!

Que lindo suena. Saludos.

Awesome casette deck..u seliing?

i wonder how this compares to the sl1200 soundwise

Thanks very much, just purchased one. Also I can hear you fine.

i have this model. i'd like to ask if the tonearm rests on the holder leveled. I bought mine 2nd hand 5 years ago for 250 euros..except last year i put new thicker cables and a Ortofon blue head shell..and it's much better now.Great machine...from Greece

What Stylus are you using

What? Nice music but can’t hear you.

Is it for sale?

I have three turntables and this model is one of them, great vintage TT you cant buy this nice of a quality turntable now days without spending over a grand
