    First time trying to restore - Technics SL B20

    Hello, Recently I picked up a quite dirty Technics SL-B20 for free, I am planning on restoring it and see if it's worth keeping it to replace my SL-BD20D or flip it.

    Hello all, I have a technics so- 5 in pretty good condition that I got from a friend. One day, I noticed that it was running a little slow, so I began adjusting the speed from the bottom.

    Mostly mid-'70s stuff. I like the warm sounds -- and the cool lamps. Sometimes I'll just turn everything on and lower the room lights, whether I'm listening or watching a movie. They make for lovely, soothing (if relatively expensive) nightlights. Anyway, this is the kind of stereo showroom...
