Technics SL-1300 Close Up Look - Classic Vinyl Turntable 

awesome! can't remember if I said in the video or not, I got this one from the original owner and love it. everything works and works well.

Thank you for checking it out!

Wow! That was a hell of a find. I love this turntable and am so glad the previous owner sold it to me. He's mentioned a couple of times that he is regretting selling it and I had to say, "Sorry, but i'm not selling it back" ;)

Got mine at goodwill for 10!! And a sansui model 8 for 5 bucks... Got 1200 for it

I absolutely love this table. I've been thinking of doing a follow up video and might once I change the stylus but am still deciding on which one I want to with

Nice! I've been toying with the idea of getting a new stylus and have considered that one. Glad to hear it sounds good b

You got about a month before Godzilla stomps his way onto mine to catch up :)

Agreed, Hobbs. Best pickup for a while

Nice! I'm loving having this table. I'm hoping it lasts me a long time.

@@HSCollectibles Just worked out 160 pouns is approx $1701 today! but worth it as it is still working after 46 years. Name one thing we can buy today that would last that long?!

@@HSCollectibles I bought a Sonyreel to reel back then for 750 pounds or $6100 today, that too still works but had to get new belts for it.

TC-765

@@ds9quark wow! I'd really like a reel to reel at some point, just to watch it play. They're hypnotic 😃

This is my first one but had a few panasonics back in the day. Loving this thing so far.

I've had this one for two years now and still love it. Do think i'll upgrade the cartridge before long but really glad I got it.

I will say I’m very pleased with how the Aiwa is performing and am not seeing it as something to just “get by on” now. Thanks for checking it out

sweet! I love this table so far so I hope you enjoy yours as well

@@HSCollectibles Picked everything up today, can't wait to start spinning. Do you have any recommendations for speakers? I am leaning towards Klipsch or Edifier. Both are powered speakers with bluetooth capability

@@johndoe-mu2cwI looked hard at both and I don't think you can go wrong with either but Klipsch is the ones I hear the best stuff about. I ended up buying some older pioneer from the same guy I bought the table from. Had I not, I think I would have gone Klipsch.

They made lots of very neat tables. I would like to find another for the living room sometime. Thanks for checking this out. Wanting to do a follow up video now that I've had it for a couple of years but (spoiler) I still love this thing.

It’s direct drive but kind of an interesting setup. The platter itself is the rotor part of the motor.

I've not got a new cartridge yet but am considering an ortofon red. I was thinking of a doing a follow-up vid soon on the table and how it's performing. I've had it fir almost 2 years now and love it. I love older gear with lots of switches, knobs and shiny panels vs the all black that components are now

@@HSCollectibles I had an Otofon Red with my Project. Wasnt a hugh fan. It was ok but to be honest not much better than an at95e. I tried a nagaoka mp110 but I wasnt really bowled over by it either. I can really recommend the denon dl110 though. A real reduction in surface noise and really great tracking. I know it is more expensive but it is really worth it

@@MrSouzy I'll definitely check it out. I haven't done much research into it still other than getting recommendations from other record collectors. Appreciate the suggestion!

Assuming you are using a phono preamp? If so, I know I've read a lot of cases where these units have enough age on them that people are getting the output cables replaced. I'm not sure if it's due to degradation of the wiring or the solder joints are cracking over time. Another possibility would be to look into the differences between MM and MC type stylus's and make sure you have the right one for your application. I think MC's are much lower output but need to learn about them myself to get ready to buy a new stylus when I get there. Worse come to worse, check with someone at a good independent record store and get an opinion. They're usually pretty knowledgeable

@@HSCollectibles Thank you. I was thinking about getting it service by a professional so I will make sure a new output cable and stylus is put on there.

Yeah, I've never understood the other pronunciation either. I figured I was pronouncing it how it was spelled

I got it off amazon but it shows as unavailable now. Looks like there are some like it out on Etsy and other sites if you search up overlook slipmat

Thanks!

I gave $300 and have seen several go on ebay for $300-400 so I thought it was reasonable.

I'm not really sure. Most of the modern Audio Technicas have similar features but not the repeat and won't auto play 10 inch albums. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
