maxspl Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Item: Technics SL-1000MK3 . SP-10MK3 Turntable plus PSU , SH-10B5 Plinth , Technics EPA-100MK2 Tone arm , Step up transformer and brand new undrilled black arm board. Location: Perth. Price: $8950 without tonearm..........$10,800 with Technics EPA-100MK2 arm . Item Condition: Mint........yes really. Reason for selling: I have two of them.. Payment Method: Cash on pickup , direct bank deposit. Extra Info: This is Technics statement turntable , Technics were aware in the early eighties that the Kenwood L-07D and Exclusive P3 were superior to their SL-1000MK2 table , the SL-1000MK3 was their answer to that , a complete ground up redesign , superior in every way to the well regarded SP-10MK2. The motor is based on the Technics SP-02M cutting lathe. The plinth is made from TNRC , technics non resonant compound . The EPA-100MK2 is superb and very highly regarded and tends to sell for between $2,000 and $3000 aud when you can find one .....I paid $2200 US dollars for this one and it is in flawless condition. Everything here in in perfect working condition . I have gone over everything with a fine tooth comb and even in direct sunlight I can not find even the slightest mark or scratch on anything......only just the very slightest swirl marks on the dustcover , only visible in a certain light. It is as close to a brand new SL-1000MK3 as you will ever find. Even in Japan these tables fetch a very good price , the last one that sold on well regarded Japanese site HIFiDo sold one in 2017 for one million yen , around $12,200 and it was in nowhere near the condition this one is in. Total weight of these tables is around 50KG unpacked , I still have the packaging for the Turntable , plinth and psu from when I bought it from Japan. If needs be I can pack it properly to arrive safely in the Eastern states , I do have some experience in packing high end turntables. The table is of course 100volt , I am including free of charge a high quality step up transformer and a brand new undrilled arm board. The original high quality Technics tone arm cable is also included , as is the original head shell pictured. Asking price here is quite a bit below market value for this whole set up. Expect around $200 for postage. Local audition welcome and encouraged. Can also work out a deal for the Lyra Argo i cartridge to be included if desired.

gat474 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is one hell of a deal from a great guy. What Mark doesn’t know about Technics TT’s isn’t worth knowing. I’m not in the market but if I was I’d be looking very seriously at Mark’s Mk3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxspl Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks for the comments both here and via PM. Yeah she is a beauty. And superior sounding to the Exclusive P3 I had previously . Have two of these decks though which is a bit of overkill . Have owned this one for 6 yrs now , time to let her go to a new home. I'm somewhat flexible on price too , and can assist with local delivery and set up if required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
