SL-1600 is very troublesome turntable.Not sure what this means.
My SL-1600MKII has been working for about 30 years. I had to replace the belt about 5 years ago, and its still going strong.
“NEW construction! Using your own (sent to me) USED Technics SL-1600MK2 turntable.”That's why I asked if anyone knows anything about this.
