    Red Technics SL-6 to Q6 conversion, is it possible?

    I recently bought a seemingly rare red Technics SL-6 from Japan. I don’t know much about the red variants(didn’t even know they existed until recently) other than they were perhaps only sold in Japan?? I have experience working on turntables and especially love the jacket-size Technics linear...

The back panel states 3 way, 20-40 watts at 16 Ohms. I can't find anything anywhere on these speakers on the internet and I'm intrigued, but not sure...
