What we check before it goes on sale

Motor start and stop, speed and pitch stability, the tonearm and its height adjustment, the platter, and the audio and power connections. A unit that does not pass is repaired before it is graded, not listed and hoped for.

About the turntable

The SL-1200 MK2 is the deck that built DJ culture. From hip hop's first scratches to decades of club and radio service, this is the turntable every other DJ deck is measured against.

Its quartz-locked direct drive motor holds speed with absolute stability, and the high-torque start brings the platter to full speed almost instantly.

The smooth pitch fader gives you precise control for beatmatching, and the pop-up target light makes needle drops easy in a dark booth.

The gimbal-suspended tonearm has adjustable height and anti-skate, tracking reliably even under heavy scratching.

The heavy rubber-damped plinth and isolating feet keep feedback at bay at high volumes, which is why these decks lived in clubs for decades.

Build quality is the stuff of legend. With basic care a SL-1200 MK2 simply keeps working, and parts and servicing remain widely available. We service every deck before it leaves us.
