SL-1700Mk2
Quartz Phase-Locked Direct-Drive Semi-Automatic Turntable
These tables have one problem which has cropped up due to age. There is a small rubber belt connected between the tonearm motor and the cueing mechanism that disintegrates over time. It is no longer available from Panasonic, but thanks to Frank, a visitor to this website, a replacement source has been found. The company name is www.electronicplus.com. The phone number to order (inside California) is (800) 321-4524. Outside California call (800) 548-7135. Part number is 1407-52, and the cost as of 11/27/03 excluding shipping is $4.00.
