Description
Up for sale is a nice Technics SL-P8 in silver from 1983, with pitch control. It looks good with minor wear throughout from use as you can see in the pictures. As a hobbyist I did some work on it including replacing the laser drive belt, tray loading belt, and some failed capacitors. The laser power has not been adjusted to avoid damaging it, but I did roughly adjust the focus and tracking servos. However, it has not been fully serviced by a professional and is being sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee implied. It plays most regular CDs well with a few minor issues:Some servo noise is audible when in use (acoustically from the outside of the unit, not in the signal)
The search function (fast forward/reverse) works going forward, but it will not track correctly in reverse. Skipping tracks forward and back works fine, though.
Sometimes the tray open/close button can be a little finicky, but it does work
It will be shipped with the transport locks engaged (see picture of the bottom of the unit), they will need to be unlocked/loosened before use.
Only the power cord is included, no remotes or cables are available. Thanks for looking!
