This vintage Technics SL23 turntable is a must-have for any audiophile or vinyl enthusiast. With its belt-driven mechanism, this turntable provides a smooth and accurate playback experience.

The turntable was manufactured in Japan in 1976, making it a classic piece of audio equipment. The SL23 features both 45RPM and 33.3RPM speed settings and comes with a phono audio output. This turntable is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of retro style to their home audio setup.

Technics is perhaps best known for the SL-1200 series of direct-drive turntables and the lovely SL-10 linear tracker. They actually manufactured a huge range of machines at varying price points though, many of them fantastic decks. The SL-23 is one of them, a belt-driven turntable with an FG (frequency generator) servo-controlled DC motor with IC drive.

Technics took belt-drive, added Japanese engineering, quality and refinement, catapulting the affordable belt-drive sector to the next level. The SL-23 features an S-shaped tonearm, automatic arm return and shut-off and much better performance than many similarly priced belt-drive decks of the time.

The deck comes with a combined moving magnet cartridge and head-shell and it’s a very decent-sounding combination. The Sl-23 also features a strobe and vernier adjustment of both 33 and 45 rpm speeds, a very nice touch. 

The Technics SL-23 is a lovely turntable and the bonus is that you get a proper vintage hi-fi classic, some Japanese hi-fi heritage and it’s a Technics, so you know it’s good!
