This Direct Drive Technics SL-Q210 is in very good condition. It was serviced in December 2024 and comes with a brand new needle, a brand new plug-in ground cable and everything else you need to start listening right away. The SL-Q210 offers convenient front-panel controls: there’s a speed selection switch (33rpm or 45rpm), a cueing switch to raise or lower the tone-arm, and a stop button for a stop at any time. There’s also an auto-return mechanism that will automatically let the tone-arm return to base at the end of a record. Needles to say everything is fully functional. The unit runs very stable and perfectly on speed. During servicing all moving parts were cleaned and relubricated. The dustcover feels smooth and looks clear, while showing light signs of handling. Both original hinges let the lid stand firmly opened. Included are the original rubber mat, a 7” adapter, the original Technics EPC-P30 cartridge with a brand new Tonar 6031-DS Diamond needle, a brand new plug-in groundcable and an RCA-cable. Also included is a printed photocopy of the user manual.
