I have three main tables if I want to use them:
The KD-500 was purchased at a neighbor's yard sale for a ridiculous price, but I was in a hurry (going to work) so paid the offered price.
The SL-1600MK2 has been my "daily driver" for more years than I can remember, it is all that I really need; it replaced an SL-1300MK2.
The SL-1015 was dredged out of the 'bay with the seller making the claim that it worked but needed some maintenance to function properly. He was right and with a friend's help, we got it working just the way that Technics said that it did. Mainly some heavy-duty cleaning; someone had spilled some sticky liquid (coffee most likely, based on the dried residue) on it around the controls.
The KD-500:
with Pioneer PA-1000 arm:
The SL-1600MK2/Shure M97Xe:
The SL-1015/Syntec S-220 arm:
Note that the arm has since been replaced with a complete S-220. Although I do miss the infinitely adjustable tracking possibilities!
Later Gator,
