1980's Technics SL-J2 Turntables Still Going Strong Today
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought my first Technics SL-J2 turntable at a thrift store a few months ago. I found, cleaning off the hardened lubricant and installing a new drive belt has these machines working like new. For a 1980's turntable, I'm really impressed with the optics that knows when there's a record there, the size of the record and it also can skip tracks like a CD player. For white vinyl I found that I need to run the turntable in manual mode. This turntable was no different. I only changed the belt, installed the stylus and this unit was working great in both manual and automatic modes.
