This model was the first nice table I ever owned and I consider them to be the workhorse of the late 70's early 80's Technics tables. They are heavy, well built, and perform great. The direct drive means no belts to change, and you get the Technics direct drive reliability. I lubed the motor bearings, cleaned the speed pots and set all of the tonearm functions accordingly. This is a plug and play ready table which sounds great. I carry MANY of these tables in inventory.
Here is a no fuss table. Full manual in black. These are really nice vintage tables with a great true old-school look.
This table is the same as the D2 model except without the semi-auto return function. The stop button on the D2 becomes the on/ off switch on the D1. Besides that the tables are identical. Female RCA jacks and 78 RPM modified. Standard D1 models without the female RCA jacks or 78 mod will sell for $270.
The full auto version of the D2. Comes with a repeat selector select switch which can be set for full repeat or from zero to six. Many available.
The SL-3200 is a semi-auto direct drive unit produced in 1978. This model has the same tonearm and motor as the SL-D2, A different look though which many people prefer. I go through these tables thoroughly and re-lubricate all of the bushings and control mechanisms for the auto features. This model series has a fantastic look with the black face plate against the silver finish.

This is the stacker version of the D3. All three spindles are included. This is one of the nicest tables I have ever come across. Very nicely maintained throughout the years. Check out the photos on my Craigslist listing.
Semi-auto quartz locked with an aluminum plinth. Same tonearm as the 1200MK2. The Q2 along with the SL-5200 series were the highest quality for consumer grade Technics tables in 1978.
Semi-auto quartz locked with an aluminum plinth. Nice S-arm table.
Semi-auto quartz locked straight arm table. Budget friendly and SUPER reliable.
Full-auto, quartz locked straight arm p-mount table. Very nice once you give the control board a recapping. Great look as well.
Full auto version of the Q2.
This is the last of the golden era tables as far as I'm concerned. Produced the year after the SL-D2 the D202 is sleeker in design with the cue mechanism on the outside of the dustcover.
