Technics SL-1310 Mk2


Hello,

Im looking for this turntable. I owned one back in the late 70s and now that I'm collecting better gear I'd like to own one again. I really enjoyed it back in the day

Let me know 

Thanks very much

I have two Technics "auto" turntables. The SL-Q3 and the 1600 MK2. Not to derail what you seek, yet the SL-Q3 is highly recommended. Being able to select the number of repeats is very nice. It is a great low frills unit that will tide you over until you find "the one." The hardest part of the Q3 is getting all the old grease out of the gears to enable the unit to perform properly. The 1600 MK2 is nice but uses the disc detection eye and is somewhat flaky at times. 

I've got the SL-1610 with a Nagaoka MP-200 cartridge. 

Same motor, platter and tonearm as the SL-1200, except the tonearm mount has no VTA adjustment and it has no DJ'esque features. It's been a great tt for the 4 years that I've had it.

The current model SL100C is the No-frills version of the Technics turntable….no speed control, just quartz locked, no arm return or motor shut-off, but it does lift the arm at the end of a side, no built in phono preamp.  Tonearm is height adjustable, but not a vernier…just manual.  The motor is cogless and platter is damped.  The plinth is low resonance bulk compound, and the feet have vibration dampers.  To me, this is the essential model for fans of the direct drive concept who like the convenience of cartridge swapping.  I just got one and I am liking it.
