Questions people ask about this model

MK7 or MK2: which should I buy?

The MK7 is new production with reverse play and a coreless motor. The MK2 is the classic, with a bigger used market. They are priced separately.

Can I post a Technics MK7?

Remove the platter and counterweight and use the original box if there is one. Otherwise collection is safer, and most buyers prefer to see it run.

What should I check on a used MK7?

That it holds speed at 33 and 45, reverse play works, the pitch fader is smooth, and the tonearm moves freely.

Selling one on

Technics 1200/1210 are gold. Audio-Technica LP120, Rega, Pro-Ject sell well. Suitcase / Crosley style players are worthless.

Remove the platter and counterweight for courier. Prefer collection.
