Technics SL1200 of early 1980s vintage. Works very well with the Shure
V15/III. :-)


Does that arm not have a removable headshell with SME style attachment?
All the other SL1x00 series that I can find information about seem to
have them.

The headshell is removable, and to the eyeball it looks like the old 'SME'
system, but I am not certain that it is to the SME spec as I don't have
enough detailed data.


If it does new Technics headshells with 2 slots are fairly readily
available for a few pounds.


Aha! Thanks, that is excellent info. :-))

Where can I get them? I can try buying one or two, and then experiment.

FWIW I also have an old GL75 headshell which looks similar, but I
thought was slightly different in collar diameter, etc. But I'll
bring it home and compare.

Slainte,

Jim
