Technics SL-1700 Turntable, AT130E Cart, New Caps, Beautiful Sound!!.
Here’s another nice Model 1700…..direct drive, semi automatic operation. On board is an Audio Technica AT130E cartridge with the original nude elliptical tip...this combination sounds beautiful . I completely disassembled this machine and did a meticulous deep cleaning...removed/replaced old grease.. cleaned the pots and switches.…replaced all electrolytic caps with Nichicon replacements…added fresh dampening oil..lubricated the spindle....and sound/functions tested this for at least an hour or two. Everything works as designed...speeds dial in nicely. Condition is very good —… a few marks here and there on the base (pics—please review closely)…the platter has a few spots with oxidation..I had to splice a length to the ground wire.. the mat is soft and pliable. ..the cover is good—has surface swirling and scratches—no cracks…all four feet are good. Taken altogether this is a very nice 1700. These are getting harder to find..…outstanding cartridge …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!!!!
