We service Technics, too. Bring us your own Technics turntables, receivers, amplifiers, cassette decks and CD players for repair, servicing or restoration (not reel-to-reel decks), with a 90-day warranty on the work. See our Audio Service page

Technics is the premium audio name Matsushita (now Panasonic) created in Osaka in 1965, and its direct-drive turntables, above all the SL-1200, made it famous. We carry Technics turntables, stereo receivers, amplifiers, CD players, cassette decks and equalizers. We've had more than 160 Technics listings so far, covering more than 115 different models. Every used Technics here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Turntables don't travel well by courier, so ours are pickup in Kanata or Curbside Delivery only. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Our best-selling Technics models so far are two turntables, the SL-3200 and the SL-220.

The Technics story, 1965 to today

Matsushita Electric of Osaka created Technics in 1965 as its premium audio brand. The first product to carry the name was the Technics 1 bookshelf speaker.

Direct drive. The SP-10 of 1969 or 1970 (sources differ), built around a motor invented by Shuichi Obata, is what Technics calls the world's first direct-drive turntable. The SL-1200 followed in 1972 as a home hi-fi turntable, and the SL-1200MK2 of 1979 was redesigned with DJs in mind. About 3.5 million SL-1200s were made.

CD and the 1980s. The SL-P10 of 1982 was Technics' first CD player.

Pause and return. Panasonic ended SL-1200 production in 2010 and brought Technics back in 2014. A new SL-1200G arrived in 2016 and the SL-1200MK7 DJ model in 2019, and turntable production moved from Japan to Malaysia in 2021.

Which Technics is which?

SL-1200 and SL-1210: the MK2 of 1979 added quartz-locked speed control and a slider pitch control. The 1210 is the black version, often with dual-voltage switching.

SL-B, SL-D and SL-Q turntables: in the early-1980s range, Q models were fully automatic and quartz-locked, D models were not, and the SL-B models were belt-drive budget decks.

SL-3200, SL-220 and other home turntables: the Technics decks we sell most often.

SA receivers and SU amplifiers: such as the SA-1000 of 1978 to 1979. The SA-202 is one of the Technics receivers we've sold most.

RS tape decks, SL-P CD players and SB speakers: from the RS-1500U open-reel deck of 1976 to the SB-7000 linear-phase speakers of 1975.

Buying used Technics: what to check

Speed and pitch. On an SL-1200 or SL-1210, use the strobe to confirm the dots hold steady, and sweep the pitch fader at 33 and 45 rpm.

Tonearm. It should move smoothly with no play in the bearings, the headshell should clamp firmly, and the anti-skate, arm lock and cue lift should all work.

Connections. Loose leads cause crackling. Check the ground wire and both channels.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
