Already a proud member but happy to say that yesterday - SCROE!!! Out and about yesterday with 51% of the vote and had just finished lunch at a new place we wanted to try when I spied a nearby pawnshop. I'm typically not a pawnshop aficionado but thought I'd check out this place. And there sitting on a shelf was a DJ case. Opened the case and, voila, a rather dirty but seemingly fully intact SL1200, MK2 (black format). I asked the proprietress if I could give it a spin and she cleared a shelf with access to an outlet. Ran the tonearm through a few tests (pass w/flying colors), powered up the unit and checked out the platter rotation - spot on speed and zero wobble. Stanton cart with Shure SC35C cart (no surprise) mounted with sheered stylus (also no surprise). Bottom line - the unit is need of a good cleaning but is otherwise in great shape. I won't get into list price and haggle but I walked out the door with the case and sl1200 with $200 less in my pocket than when I walked in. I'll post more details in Dollars and Sense. Pics below.
