Technics SL-BD22

This thing has done very, very well over the last couple of weeks. Actually flawlessly, I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever once I reassembled...

Moving over to the record, turns on and a nice smooth drop and also to this turntable has been completely serviced.

Alrighty, so there you have it. That's the Technics SLBD 22. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me

Here’s the thing, I’ve been using a mid-90s Belt-driven Technics SL-BD22 for like 6 years. For a turntable that cost me $80, it was better than passable. I had friends complimenting on how they thought it actually sounded really good.

Operation of this turntable is smooth with regards to accurate pitch and speed adjustment and the auto-return tone arm mechanism is flawless. However, the downfall of this Technics turntable is an annoying audible static -like intermittent noise heard on quiet passages of music. I made absolute sure...

I started out with a used Technics SL BD22 turntable I purchased at an estate sale for $80. I had friends with cheap Crossley suitcase tables and thought maybe I’d get something like that myself but a buddy who’d been collecting longer advised against that and told me how I could get a used Technics, Fluance or Sony that would sound better and cost the same or less.

I bought a new 2000 Technics SL-BD22 with a used Signet Hi-Tec 105 cartridge and new stylus. I put it in a 1200TT Bases wooden cabinet. I use it just to play 45's. It's not bad...

I recently acquired a Technics SL-BD22 turntable used. It replaced a mid-1970's Dual 1237 belt driven table that finally gave up and begged to be retired. Looking for an affordable replacement and being familiar with Technics reputation for fine quality turntables, I naturally turned to eBay. I'll b...

The SL-BD22 is a "p" mount turntable with a fixed tonearm weight and anti-skate. There are a lot fewer choices for cartridges and stylus. It would not be an expensive turntable, but it will have auto return.
