Technics SL-D202 Direct Drive Turntable System SL D202. Cover/lid can be placed on, but isn’t attached to turntable. The main problem seems to lie with the tonearm as it does not raise automatically and needs to be manually placed to cue. As it does not raise, the automatic return drags the needle across the record to the armrest. May be useful for parts/refurb as the rest of it seems to work okay. Just beyond my capabilities to fix, as the turntable was inherited by myself! If anyone has any questions, just ask and I’ll do my best (albeit with slightly limited knowledge) to answer.

Hello, I have up for auction my absolutely beautiful, clean, collectible Technics SL-D202 direct drive turntable in super cosmetic, fully functional, and highly collectible condition as shown. Plays SUPER, with an awesome Stanton cartridge and brush, and only the dust cover has a scratch, but does not affect the beauty. I am selling this one only because I have 5 turntables and cant use them all. Shipping is a fixed $25 in the US, no reserve price so high bidder wins and you will LOVE this Technics! The manual comes with it, just not shown in the pics.

TECHNICS SL-D202 DIRECT DRIVE AUTO RETURN TURNTABLE WITH ORIGINAL DUST COVER, TONE ARM, RUBBER MAT. The stylus is not original obviously otherwise it would be worn to bits! The one included is from about 18 months ago (replacements are freely available) and the manual that I will include is a photocopy of an original. And Ill include the Technics slip map from photos. This turntable has been owned by me since the mid 90s, bought from someone I knew who looked after their kit. After some regular use it was stored for several years and then used again for last 10 years. It has been cared for and looked after well. The dust cover hinges have snapped and so although the hinge edges still slot over their original holes they do not hold the lid up, I had the turntable on a surface with a wall just behind so could rest the lid on that when open. The tracking and sound quality is still fantastic. Tracking is as solid as always. Issues: The needle arm return button works, the auto-return usually works, but on some occasions doesnt, which over the years I noticed seemed to be linked to if the record has been allowed to play through or not and the size of the record run-off rather than any mechanical issue. The pitch adjuster has become sensitive over time, meaning only slight touches of the pitch wheel cause quite significant movements in speed. The manual,which I will include a copy of, shows how to adjust this setting and it looks quite simple but as this a valuable piece of kit I didnt want to risk any damage. I have used the turntable with this quirk recently without any problems. Pick up is preferred from London E17, Walthamstow and I will reduce the winning price by 10% if buyer is willing to pick. Although I will also post.
