The SL-1800 direct drive manual turntable was offered for sale from 1977 to about 1979. At the time these were highly coveted units (same for the SL-1600 (automatic) and SL-1700 (semi-automatic)). To this day the SL-1800 is desired for obvious reasons. Ease of use, craftsmanship, reliability are virtues of this model and they jump out at you when you first lay eyes on this unit. When playing a record the sound of music itself comes out of the loud speakers. Not only is this model appealing to the ears but the eyes as well. An SL-1800 is very easy on the eyes as well and goes hand in hand with a proper layout of the controls. Many DJ's would love to get their hands on a pair of these. The dual isolation works perfectly to damp out unwanted feedback as well.

This is an excellent turntable that shares some of the same components of its cousin - the 1200 mk2. It is fully manual so there are not as many things that can go wrong compared to the 1600 and 1700 mk2. It is also less common than the 1200 mk2 series since ir was only manufactured between 1979 and 1981. Technics also fixed the tonearm problems that plagued the pre 1979 models. This series is highly desirable - and in many cases undervalued.
