Product code: Technics sl 1300 turntable lp shops record player
It plays really nice, correct speed and sounds good but the auto load and replay features don't always work as they should. Sometimes they do. I've used it for several years. But primarily used the lift arm and manual horizontal movement. Which I liked due to heavy duty nostalgic quality feel. Guessing someone who knows how to service these could get it back going correct I've read that there is just a small piece of white plastic that can be cleaned and have lithium grease replaced to fix this issue or sometimes there is a plastic piece replacement? I haven't attempted any repairs. If you Google sl 1300 auto return issue you'll find a lot of threads on how to repair. Some minor wear and shops scratches. Note this era tables do require ground to be connected to your amp to eliminate static. These sell for $500-$600+ if in excellent condition. Up to $800 in new condition Cover also has a fair amount of scratches. But I have read that 2500 grit sand paper takes care of a lot of them.
