Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at?


There is a Technics SP 10 mc II with a Micro MA 88 arm for sale and I’m wondering whether it’s worth buying. Due to local lockdowns I can’t view it. It’s  vintage, but if anything is wrong is it reparable, and worth repairing?  Otherwise I’ll keep looking for a Rega or Linn that I can afford

Some time back I was lucky enough to acquire a complete, and very lightly used, SL1000 MKII set, original box and packaging intact....

 Mint in its fundamental parts other than two pin head sized chips to one of the faceted edges to the rear and left side of the SH-10B3 plinth.

It patiently waits upon a service before installation into the new main system  some time in spring next year...




FYI, the Fidelis Analog chip set is a replacement in the SP-15 as well as the SP-10 Mk 3.

Also chakster, the simple home use plinth link in your 8/14 post does not open.
@pryso the simplest SH-10B2 on this site (there are many more)

Good to know, I asked JP about chip for mk2 (just for backup) and the answer was that they are not compatible.

Never owned SP-15, but I like SP-20 which is same size as SP-10mkII but with internal power supply.

Possibly Dumb Question: do you have to find an SP10 MkII that works on, say, US power, or do the power units allow for accommodation to various voltages around the world?  I see units sometimes listed as BBC or being sold from England or Japan and sometimes see the power plug, sometimes not.  I'm in the US, so do I have to find a unit that works here?
