Definitely no on a belt drive table. I would also avoid doing this on the SL-1200, unless you use a felt slip mat, which will allow the platter to turn while the record stays in place.
Am I damaging my turntable?
An old habit of mine from owning a SL-1200 for many years (and still use as my office turntable) is pausing the platter with my hand while I flip the LP, then letting go to start rotating again.
I know this won't damage the SL-1200 but is this a no-no on my belt driven Rega RP6?
