TECHNICS SL-7 Linear Direct Drive Automatic Record Player Made In Japan WORKING+

Description

Auction is for a
Killer USED
Technics SL-7 Quartz Direct Drive Automatic Linear Tracking Turntable with a brand new stylus/needle
Vintage circa 1981 MADE IN JAPAN when
TECHNICS
was putting out some of the very best audiophile units of that time!
Fully Functional with all operations checked and confirmed to be in perfect working operation
I replaced the original tonearm drive belt a few months ago when I took this unit out of storage
Latch/clips on the lid holds just fine with no damage/issues that are often found with this player
Both 33 & 45 rpm speeds lock in, and the automatic tonearm drops at all 3 designated record sizes
Body is overall in
NICE CONDITION for its age
having been taken good care of, but please be aware that there are some minor marks, scuffs, stains etc that may not be visible in the above pictures due to the players glare if you are extremely picky about such cosmetic details please ask for more pics
*Please not the last picture which shows a tiny crack on the underside of the lid which occurred when I was removing it to replace the arm drive belt. It's held on with a screw so no worry of it breaking away and isn't noticeable when viewed from above, nor does it have any effect on the players operation.
Please understand that in the very rare case your package arrives damaged/folded/split open it will be fully covered by postal insurance to which the buyer/receiver must first initiate a claim through their respected postal outlet.
Only after the inquiry has been opened by the buyer
can JAPAN POST commence an investigation to confirm insured value for compensation.
By purchasing this item you waive my right of responsibility for transit negligence and agree to the aforementioned process through the shipping/postal service but understand that I will do my VERY BEST in packing it with GREAT CARE to help prevent any possible damage along the way!
Any questions or concerns please ask before bidding, I will be more than happy to do my best in answering them for you ;)

Lastly, should a package become LOST, STOLEN or DAMAGED along the way, it is the buyers responsibility to FIRST make an official claim at their local POSTAL OFFICE as (from an unfortunate past experience with shady buyers) the Japan Post requires an initial inquiry which will be forwarded to my original office (point of departure) to verify packing slips/invoices and package contents...only then will the Japan Post be able to contact your postal outlet to forward such information
