Summary
I choose to blame Crap From the Past for this purchase. CFtP is a radio show out of Minnesota on KFAI that does retro pop music with a focus on obscure, forgotten, or overlooked recordings. - a graduate level course in pop-music, as Ron "Boogiemonster"...
Strength

Strength
Cost, quality, arm, direct drive.
Weakness

Summary
This is the near perfect mirror image of the famous Technic 1200/1210 but at half the price. The turntable is some 3 pounds less of the Sl-1220 but has added features such as a 78 speed, reverse speed and an included cartridge. It also includes the...
Strength
Great value includes such as 78 speed, reverse speed, built in phono-preamp.
