IanRees Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So my dad has had a Technics Sl-D3 for the last 15 or so years and it's currently not working. It probably just needs a new cartridge but i figured id try and get him a new table instead for fathers day. Im looking for something preferably under $250. It has to be automatic and have speed switches built in. I'd probably like to stay with Technics, but open to other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 For that budget, I would just recommend getting the D3 serviced, and putting a new cartridge on it. I think my buddy has a D3 and its not a bad turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Yeah that's what I was figuring on doing for him, it's been a solid turntable for 15+ years and even though I wanna get him a new set up a pro-ject/rega would be wasted on him. He's a old punk rocker and will most likely be high while listening to his records and forget to flip it, hence the need for it to be automatic.

kannibal Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well if that's the case, I wouldn't waste too much money on it. Get it serviced to make sure everything works and get a replacement stylus. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
