Dear Dev: Technics marketed three different MK3 models sharing in between the same TT ( specs, motor, etc, . ) and controler TT.
All are SP10s. The SP10MK3 is the stand alone unit with out plinth/tonearm, the 1000MK3 comes with plinth and Technics tonearm ( usually the EPA 100 or the MK2. ) and the 1000MK3D that comes with plinth, tonearm and cartridge.
That's it.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
