I picked up a Technics SL-D2 in Near Mint condition for $200.00.
It was shipped to me in the Original Box and when I started taking the turntable
out of the box it had newspaper stuffed in there I guess as extra padding.
I looked at the dates of the newspaper and it was from 1985!
The seller said he had only used it a couple of years and packed it away and
only now realized he had it and was looking for a home for it. Seeing the dates
on the newspaper made me a believer.
it is in Near Mint shape..looks almost brand new. Not a mark on the lid anywhere and
it all works AWSEOME-LY!
Great find!!
