The speed adjustment with traditional belt-drives relying on a synchronous AC motor is related to the fact that the motors tend to slow down over time - which is why they tend to all be set fast when new.
DJs need access to a wide pitch range for beat matching/pitch bending hence why the 1200mk2 added the slider to the original Mk1 design.
I have had an SL1200mk2 since the 90s. I am not a DJ and have never once needed to use the pitch control when just playing back records for transcription or enjoyment.
The SL1200mk2 absolute speed is something that can be adjusted internally with pots related to the motor control IC. The new revamped technics models have a different procedure that is basically a "self adjustment" and can't be done "incorrectly" if you accidentally fiddle with the DIP switches from what I have seen on recalibrating the Mk7 (which is based on the new motor). In other words, absolute speed error is not something you are likely to encounter with the SL1500C.
The video is from a guy in the UK who specializes in servicing Technics decks and knows his stuff.
