Technics SL-1500

[JT_Jax52]

I'm looking to purchase my first TT. I have been scouring around town, as well as Craigslist, and I have found a Technics SL-1500 fitted with a Ortofon Concord Pro. I was wondering what you all thought of the TT, as well as the price offered.

if everything is working and the arm moves freely I'd jump on it. I just recommended it to a member here in a thread he started.

I run a 1500 and love it.

Welcome to the AK turn table forum.

The Technics SL-1500 is an excellent find.

Here is a link to the manuals for your familiarization.

I am not a fan of that particular cartridge but that's just me. You can probably get the table for less money. The SL-1500 is a very good table, and once you have gone over, cleaned, re-lubed, etc, the table should last you a long time.

Welcome to AK!

I don't know, the cart ain't bad and that's a very good price for an SL 1500. I wouldn't flinch!
