Which likely means that they have zero interest in shipping it anywhere than in Australasia unfortunately.
Technics Compact Linear Trackers, SL-__; SL-Q____ Vertical SL-V5. ADVICE PLEASE
I will add a TT in my office, not audiophile grade.
Purpose: To hear LP’s I intend to sell, listening to results of cleaning, how quiet, verify no skips, bimps. Casual listening, while doing other things, leave room, perhaps forget playing, so I need auto lift, prefer auto off.
Easy idea will ONLY FIT a very compact TT, max 13" depth,
So I have been learning about the Technics Compact SL line, 12-1/2" deep lid open. Lots of various models, belt, direct drive, and Quartz Direct Drive. Lots of work/expense to fit a TT deeper than 13" when lid open. I have lots of dust from forced air system.
Best looking idea is to get a Vertical TT SL-V5, and have it side by side with my Reel to Reel in Vertical Position, nice operating height. I have the nice Micky Mouse Dust Cover for the 10" reels on the X2000r, that would also be awesome looking.

ONLY ONE Technics Vertical SL-V5 for sale now, (that I can find, at any price). I agreed to buy it, very low price too, but seller in Fonthill, Ontario Canada will not ship it.
So, a few questions:
1. Some direct drive have speed pots. Are the QUARTZ models the only ones with ’perfect’ speed?
2. Known problems other than arm grease and arm belt?
3. Programmable Models (nice but don’t need). IF program function fails, do they still play in basic mode?
4. Anybody have a line on buying a Technics SL-V5?
the biggest question:
5. Anyone near Foothill, Ontario willing to pick it up, pack, ship to me, I will pay of course. ONLY ONE for sale, very nice unit, very low price, a shame, a dirty rotten shame to not get it. Seller could keep it till you pick it up at your convenience. I would be most appreciative, and take my lumps if anything happened, it is only $200. CAD, $150. USD, well worth the risk to me.
regards, Elliott
