Rare and will it still sound good? Technics SL-P 1200B Professional Broadcasting Quality CD player.

Remember these years ago in the brochures, lusted a little. Not that I'm interested, I think the inflated price is more a collectors value this than performance. I imagine most modern 'half decent' players out performing it by some margin.

[It Cost How Much!?!]

Not great, I have a SLP222 Technics and that is better.

It’s a decent enough sounding player but where it really scores is in general loveliness, sheer awesomeness to use and resemblance to a tank.

The price is about right, assuming he’s put the decimal point in the wrong place and meant £349.99

And it is awsomly heavy  :shock:

That looks like an Ex BBC one, what with the fader where the pitch would have been & the pitch on a little knob above it. BBC faders were 'shut' when at the top.

Very robust, the only thing that use to go wrong (25 odd years ago mind) was the little gold 'tooth' on the lid (photo #11 on the listing) would sometimes not make contact with the connectors below when the lid was shut & the CD would not play. A gentle bending would sort it.

Looks a bit like a cash register mixed with a Technics DJ turntable to me. Not the most elegant of designs have to say.
