**For Sale: Technics SL-1200MK2-XA – Rare Japanese Edition Direct Drive Turntable**

Step into the legacy of high-fidelity sound with this **Technics SL-1200MK2-XA**, a rare Japanese market variant of one of the most iconic turntables ever made. Crafted by **Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.** in Japan, this precision-engineered turntable is a true collector’s item and a dream for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

**Serial Number:** GE5DS97656
*(Based on Technics’ serial coding, this likely places its manufacture in May 1985, lending further authenticity and historical value.)*

### Why This Turntable Stands Out:
- **Exclusive Japanese Market Model**: The "XA" designation, as highlighted in forums such as Vinyl Engine, identifies this as a uniquely Japanese variant. Such models are incredibly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
- **Original Components Throughout**: Retains its **original cover** and all parts, ensuring an authentic experience true to Technics’ original vision.
- **Stanton 680HP Needle & Technics Head**: Comes fitted with a Stanton 680HP needle and a Technics-branded head for superb audiophile-level performance.
- **Direct Drive System**: Renowned for its reliable torque and exceptional pitch stability, this direct drive mechanism is perfect for DJs, collectors, and purists demanding high-fidelity playback.
- **Dual Voltage Compatibility**: Equipped with a versatile **110-120/220-240 V** power source and 50 or 60 Hz support, allowing seamless integration into audio setups worldwide.

### Condition:
- **Checked and Fully Operational**: Professionally inspected and verified to be in **great working condition**, delivering the pristine sound Technics is famous for.
- **Plinth and Mechanics**: Graded VG+ for excellent functionality and smooth operation.
- **Turntable Cover**: Original and functional, graded VG due to a visible burn mark. However, it remains sturdy, protective, and integral to the turntable’s vintage charm. Please review the photographs for a clear view of its condition.

### Bonus: Iron Maiden Record – “Maiden Japan” (1981)
Included with the turntable is a **VG+ condition Iron Maiden “Maiden Japan” vinyl**, a 1981 release with the catalog code **062-1075346** and additional markings **A/A 11103**. Although the sleeve is missing, the record itself is a collectible addition that perfectly complements the turntable’s high-quality playback and adds a unique touch to this offering.

### The Perfect Blend of Heritage and Performance
Whether you’re a DJ searching for a reliable classic, a collector drawn to rare market variants, or a vinyl connoisseur seeking top-tier playback, the SL-1200MK2-XA meets and exceeds these standards. With its confirmed 1985 heritage, the XA variant’s exclusivity, and the bonus Iron Maiden vinyl, this listing represents a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of audio history.
