Yes, DeoxIT in the speed adjusters and speed switch on Technics turntables, and the speed usually gets completely stable.
If I come across a typical Technics direct-drive turntable with an intact dust cover, and if I do the DeoxIT service, and then stick an ordinary cartridge on it such as Grado Black or AT3600, in my marketplace the value of the turntable is $125 - $150.

I might just do that. Need some money for other projects. But think I will keep this cart. :yes:

This is my turntable. Got if for $25 CND. I replaced the bottom plate with a piece of wood cut to size to accomodate the innards and give the table added stability. I had to replace the original interconnects which had a right intermittent problem with a new set of interconnects cannibalized from a powerlink audio cable I got for free a while back. I have a shure M97xE with Audioquest headshell leads on it. I have been very pleased with it's performance.

I have a D202, had a D2.
In regards to the resale, anywheres from $25 to $65 normally on this on the 'Bay, and usually closer to the lower end.
That said, you still could end up selling it locally for more.
You'll notice if you pick it up, it's a little lighter in body weight than the upper Technics line. But it's a durable TT, and often problem-free.
I've been lucky, landing them for $5 to $10 often, which is a steal for a reliable TT, even if it's not a mid-to higher end model.
The D2 was a 1979-1980 model, and sold for $150. The D202 was a 1981 model, sold for $160. Both are semi-automatic tables, standard (non- p mount), and both with outside the dustcover controls.
