Technics SL-220 Frequency Generator Servo Turntable – Serviced
A late-1970s belt-drive with a frequency-generator servo motor and an S-shaped arm — the quiet alternative to the direct-drive Technics everyone else buys. Over $120 of bench time went into this one: tonearm repaired and reconnected with a replacement headshell, pitch pots deoxidised to cure the speed drift these are known for, a new belt, a new Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, and the platter rim sanded and polished. No dust cover.
