Thank you, I will!Just google a tutorial for the SL-1200Mk2. It's exactly the same. There's some cheap kits on eBay as well.

Well they're all the same except for the automatic features, the 1600 is fully automatic with a start button and a repeat function, the 1700 is semi, (like your D2) you have to start it manually, but stops automatically, the 1700 is a manual. One of the problems on these units is the cueing mechanism, mostly an easy fix with a new pulley belt. by the way, I like the D2, just sold mine.sure am glad someone resurected this thread.
As a owner of a lowly SLD2, can anyone advise me on the best upstep
to enter the 16/17/1800 club?
You could go for a MK1: servo controlled or an MK2: quartz controlled, the latter shares a lot of parts with the SL1200MK2 and tends to be more expensive. Personally I prefer the looks of the MK1, I have a pair of SL1710MK1 for daily use.I like having auto return.
so 1700 is one to zero in on.
mite try bartertown.
I'm reparing a set of sl1700mk2's and want to change the stylus light to LED, has anyone done that? What kind of resistor would I need, We have 230V.
Noob here, just picked up a SL 1600 to replace my old Pioneer PL 115D, it is in perfect condition, came with a MA 2002e cartridge, I added my Nagaoka mp-110 , I'm really liking it!
Here we go:
Works just fine. I haven't done any cleaning or work on the power button. It came with a Stanton p-mount in an adapter (D70e stylus). I'm checking out an ADC QLM34MkIII for a fellow AKer, so I mounted that up for testing.
The counterweight it came with is the wrong one ... it's the correct mass but it's from something like a SL-D2. I have one for my SL-1210Mk2 that I put on for now ... guess I'll have to go shopping!
I'm trying a 1700 MKI right now and like it a lot. I might have a line on a MKII and I'm not sure it's worth it or not. I also notice the suspension on the MKI is a bit flogged.
Please elaborate - flogged .
