Remarks[edit]
- Other models in the same series:
- Very nice, solid and heavy unit. Unfortunately, the lift unit is defective in almost all used units. The reason is a broken plastic ring with bracket for the lift function. The corresponding spare part ((N)SFPAB13204A) is no longer available from Technics or Panasonic. In the meantime, there are replica parts from the 3D printer in the USA, which fit very well and should also work, see here [[1]].
Skilled hobbyists have also successfully repaired broken levers, see here [[2]].
