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.

Fully automatic — start, lift and cue all handled for you. Built in Germany between 1981 and 1983. Serviced here with a new Ortofon OM cartridge and elliptical stylus, a restored dust cover, and a spade fitted to the ground lead.
Technics SL-220 Turntable – Made in Japan, Technics EPC-U25 Cartridge
Belt drive with a frequency-generator servo motor, a 304mm die-cast aluminium platter, and a static-balanced S-type arm with auto-return — 0.045% wow and flutter, six percent pitch either side of centre. The Technics EPC-U25 cartridge takes styli from conical up to Shibata, so there is a cheap path to more later. We sold this one, serviced it, and took it back in trade; condition Good.
