Description:Up for sale is a classic Technics SL-DD22 Direct Drive Automatic Turntable System made in Japan (ca.1986–1988). Renowned for its reliable direct-drive motor and stable tracking performance, this vintage deck comes equipped with an Audio-Technica Series III phono cartridge, making it a very capable option for any vinyl listener seeking an excellent sounding setup.Specifications:Brand: TechnicsModel: SL-DD22Drive Type: Direct DriveOperation: Semi-Automatic (Auto-Return/Stop)Cartridge: Audio-Technica Series III P-Mount (T4P)Speed Settings: 33 RPM / 45 RPMCondition:The unit has been powered on and basic record playback functions have been evaluated. It appears to be operational, maintaining proper platter rotation speed with smooth cueing mechanism movement [see video; *note the player was not connected to speakers during testing but the cartridge tracked beautifully and music was clearly audible via mechanical "needle talk" directly from the stylus during playback.]. The straight tonearm assembly, silver counterweight, gimbal pivot housing, and factory calibration markings appear intact and free of visible damage. The original factory text detailing the pre-set tracking force and anti-skating settings remains fully clear and legible. The integrated hardwired AC power cable and audio output lines appear free of significant wear. The attached smoke-tinted dust cover hinges are functional, though the plastic hinge tabs show typical structural signs of age and the internal springs have relaxed over time (the lid naturally wants to close after lifting). The clear plastic cover exhibits some minor, superficial scuffs and swirl marks which are entirely expected with age, but it remains free of major cracks or deep gouges. Overall, the unit presents in Very Good condition relative to its age. Due to the vintage nature of this item, it is sold as-is.What’s Included:Technics SL-DD22 Turntable Unit with attached clear dust coverPre-installed Audio-Technica Series III Cartridge and StylusIntegrated platter rubber matHardwired AC power cable, RCA audio output cables, and ground wire--These items are part of an estate from a collector and carpenter by trade (descended from other crafts-persons, mostly in Connecticut).
