Vintage Technics SL-B2 Belt Drive Turntable w/Shure 800E Cartridge + Manual

Description

Technics SL-B2 Belt Drive Turntable
*** New Shure 800E Cartridge! ***
Vintage Technics SL-B2 Semi-Automatic Belt Drive Turntable with Frequency Generator Servo and Pitch Control.
The specs for this unit are widely available so I won't repeat them here. When I bought this several years ago I replaced the belt and installed a new Shure 800E cartridge. I also replaced the original RCA output cables with some better quality ones. I then ripped exactly one (1) LP to my computer and put the unit on a shelf in the closet. (It was an old somewhat rare LP that was never released on CD.)
Everything works properly on the turntable. The electronic speed switching, pitch control and stroboscopic light, auto-tonearm-return at the end of the record, viscous-damped cueing. The original "45" adapter is included, along with a second platter mat with a larger hole in the center to accommodate the "45" adapter. The rubber with both mats is a bit stiff due to age so you might want to invest in a new one.
There are no cracks in the cover and the hinges work properly (although they are a bit on the weak side). There are surface scratches on the cover. I'll leave it to you if you want to buff them out.
Also included is a printed copy of the Operating Instructions manual.
Note that the platter will be removed for shipping so you will need to re-install it along with the belt (directions in the manual).
Keep in mind that while this item is in excellent condition for its age, it is a used, vintage item. Ask questions before bidding because all sales are final.
Item will be safely packed for shipping.
