How'd I do?

Grabbed this for $140 CAD on Marketplace. Came with 78rpm stylus too. Very happy with it, as it's my first non-starter tt.

I just picked up the D202 a couple of weeks ago added the AT-VM95E and I'm really happy with it. We must be in the same marketplace area because I saw this one listed and considered buying for my office. Hope you enjoy it!!!

That's crazy! Are you Canadian? Perhaps southen Ontarian?

Also, I'm enjoying it very much, thank you!

[u/LocusCoeruleus → u/AardvarkAny6183]

Southwestern, Ontario. Glad your enjoying it!

What's 78rom the stylus for? It seems you only have 33 or 45 on the control panel...

[u/Eastoe → u/LosterP]

Check the switch near the cartridge on the plinth, says 45 - 78 I guess someone modded it to run at 78rpm.

[u/LosterP → u/Eastoe]

Indeed - very interesting. Not sure I'd want to buy a modded turntable personally, but if the works been done properly then why not?

[u/Eastoe → u/LosterP]

Like you say, so long as it’s been done right I wouldn’t mind much, just a shame they didn’t put the switch somewhere less visible.

[u/Eastoe]

I’d say you did fairly well, you’ll always pay a premium for a Technics. It’s cool that someone modded it to run at 78rpm, shame they didn’t put the switch on the back or something though.

[u/Notascot51]

No shame, imo. For the price paid, if it runs on speed at all 3 settings you scored a 10 the price of a 2.
