Talk:Technics SL-15

Info collection SL-15:

THE SL-15 PLAYS WELL, THE PROGRAM FUNCTION WORKS,START,

FORWARD, BACKWARDS, CUE UP AND DOWN WORKS.

ONLY THE STOP BUTTON DOESN'T WORK CORRECT

THIS BUTTON HAS TWO FUNCTIONS STOP/CLEAR AND TO MOVE THE ARM TO THE RIGHT, THIS WORKS,

NOT PERFECT BUT IT WORKS

THE STOP/CLEAR FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK

IT COULD BE DUST OR A BAD CONTACT

TO STOP IT YOU HAVE TO CUE UP AND OPEN THE LID AND THE ARM AUTOMATICALLY MOVES BACK TO THE BEGINNING

AND IT'S STOPPED AND CLEARED OF ITS PROGRAM

I HAVE BOUGHT IT THIS WAY AND NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO IT

BECAUSE I JUST AIN'T GOT THE TIME

NEVER THE LESS IF YOU PUT SOME TIME IN TO IT (which it deserves)

YOU WOULD HAVE A GREAT  

AND VERY RARE AND HIGHLY SORT AFTER TECHNICS SL-15

IT COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL TECHNICS P308 MOVING MAGNET STEREO CARTRIDGE WITH NEEDLE --

Description

The Technics SL-15 allows the choice of any track in any order via a numbered array of buttons.

Simply press the program keys in the order you want the bands played.

The tonearm of the SL15 will first move across to the innermost grooves of the record so the optical sensor can read and memorise the number of bands and their positions.

Turntable speed is chosen automatically according to optoelectronic detection of record size.

There is, therefore, no need to manually choose turntable speed or record size.
