A Technics SL-D1, like so:

In beautiful condition, with a decent AT cart & stylus fitted. For the princely sum of R300... Gumtree ftw.

I remember these decks from the 80's as sounding particularly sweet, and I'm over the moon with this one!
Gave it a wipe-down, re-balanced the arm, cleaned the stylus properly, and connected it to my trusty old NAD 3140.

Vinyl heaven! Being a DD drive, it is whisper quiet even with the volume waaay up, and being fully manual, no auto mechanisms to interfere with arm operation etc.

It's an awesome sounding player! 8) I've been spinning vinyls all night on it, and I can't be happier with my purchase!  :)
