Description: SL- 1700…..direct drive, semi automatic operation. On board is a Shure M91ED cartridge with the correct Hi-Track stylus. This combination sounds very good. I tracked this cartridge around 1.3 grams. I completely disassembled this machine and did a meticulous deep cleaning..…removed/replaced old grease..…replaced the electrolytic caps with audio grade replacements….cleaned the pots and switches…added dampening oil to the cueing piston…lubricated the spindle….and sound/functions tested this for at least an hour or two. Everything works as designed—speeds dial in nicely. Condition of the base is very good showing just a few defects (a noticeable scratch in the finish in the middle of the front panel)…..the platter is bright with just a bit of oxidation ..….the mat is soft and pliable….….the cover is very good with some surface swirling and light scratches—-but overall presentation is nice….all four feet are good. Taken altogether this is another nice 1700 ….…comes ready to play with a very good cartridge…new caps…..built like a tank. I will ship, at the buyers expense, utilizing FedEx to any of the contiguous 48 states. I pack with great care and fully insure for shipping. I use double walled heavy duty boxes reinforced with foam board in the corners. Believe me when I say I Don’t want transit damage more than you don’t. Due to the age of this device and the uncertain nature of vintage electronics this device is being sold AS IS with no returns. This is NOT a new machine...as such, it does not come with any guarantee implied or written. This machine will come partially disassembled. You will need to mount the platter—and the drive belt in belt drive machines—the counterweight..and in some cases the anti-skate weight. DO NOT operate the machine without first properly balancing and setting the appropriate tracking weight. If you do not know how to do this there are tutorials available on YouTube, or you can call me and I’ll walk you through it. I appreciate your interest …please check my other listings….and VINYL ON!!!!
