1979 Technics SL-D3 Turntable Tuneup

So I guess this turntable is ready to go. We'll call it an overhaul. We'll call it a tune-up

Update: my dad found the model of his old turntable. Is worth buying one from ebay?

The advantage, though, is P-mount is \*much\* easier to adjust: essentially there is no adjustment necessary at all. 🙂. You could also look for some other nice Technics direct drive models, most are really good. Personally I like the older models best, such as SL-Q2, SL-Q3 and SL-D2 or SL-D3.

It was missing the stylus! Poor quality control .

Only giving one star because 0 stars is not possible .I had this in a box for 10 months prior to mounting it. When I did it was missing the stylus! Poor quality control .

Now I am thinking of buying a vintage turntable as my first turntable, and I found this Technics SL-D3 deal: which says "Working technics SL-D3 turntable. Lid needs polishing.

Is Technics SL-D3 still a good turntable?

Keep the SL-D3 if it's working well. What is the current cartridge? There may be a stylus upgrade for it?. Or a cartridge upgrade to the or a warm [Nagaoka

Update: picked up the SL-D3 for $100 today. Adjusted everything and it plays really well!

The SL-D3 is a great TT. Paired with that Nagaoka MP110 I bet it sounds fantastic.

Now, go clean up your room young man!
