I'm finally getting around to selling my Technics SL-1700 Direct Drive turntable, complete with dust cover and Grado MT+ Cartridge. I also have the factory stylus alignment tool and the original box, and I'm the original owner. The dust cover has the usual scuffs but otherwise the turntable is in very good condition.

The SL-1700 is one of a series of quality turntables they made in the late 70's I think. The SL-1700 is semi-automatic, which means that the motor starts when you move the arm over the record, and the arm will automatically pick up when the record is finished playing, which is real handy.

I'll post some pictures soon, but here is a link to one of their ads: Technics SL-1700

Price Drop: $105 plus shipping.

I also have a Adcom Crosscoil XC high output moving coil cartridge that is mounted in a Supex headshell that can plug into the Technics arm. I used this cartridge for critical listening and the Grado for more background listening. Their weight was matched so that the arm settings could remain the same for either one. The Adcom sold for $240 new and was highly regarded at the time. I'm not sure what it and the headshell are worth but make an offer if you're interested.

I did some checking about the Adcom cartridge that I mentioned. There is a guy on Audiogon that has one that has just been re-tipped for $500, and the retipping cost $350, suggesting that the cartridge in need of retipping is worth $150. I don't think mine needs retipping yet; although I haven't listened to it in awhile, it sounded good the last time I used it. If you are interested in the Adcom cartridge and the extra headshell, I could include it with the turntable as a packaged deal for only $50 more which I think is quite a deal. By the way the Supex shell fits a lot of Technics and other turntables and is from a well respected maker. I always found having two cartridges that were easy to swap was a big advantage. If you are interested in either the Adcom cartridge or the Supex head shell separately, please let me know.

Hi, If you still have the Adcom cartridge and Supex headshell, I would be interested.

Cheers

Hi, I just saw your message today.

 

I still have them, but the last time I checked out the adcom it was not working properly. If you are still interested in it at a reduced price please let me know.

 

Best regards,

Kurt
