Great score! I have the predecessor to the Mk1 SL1200 - the SL1100. I think the PCBs are very similar. I changed the electrolytics and the zener diode, replaced the not working bulb, added some viscous silicone to slow down the armlift and flushed out the pots. It keeps extremely consistent speed with little to no W&F and I fitted an AT150Ea cartridge, which makes the music on my records sound truly wonderful - I love my table!<br><br>The versions of these tables sold without the arms had the end zeros taken off them (SL120 and SL110).

Nice. I've never seen a mki before. Sure is well built. Your son will be stoked.

Nice TT, I'd love to find one. I did find a SP 10 a while back, I had a MK II back in mid 80's and sold in early 90's, as CD's were becoming more popular,

Larger main bearing , Heavier platter separate sub platter . larger transformer and if you prefer the non quartz servo decks which some do this 1200 or 120 is the one to get. mine is a 120 SME 3009 shure V15 4 and still has the original feet
