Very nice and solid turntable from the heydays of HIFI (1978/1979) when record players were still made to last for fifty years. This SL 3210 is in a near mint condition, you really have look hard for traces of wear. The dust cover is also still in a very nice condition and only has some slight scratches. This is a semi-automatic: you move the arm above the record and the platter automatically starts. The arm automatically returns at the end of the record and the platter stops. Ease to use given the controls at the front of the device, outside of the dust cover. Comes with the nice-sounding Technics 270c element with a good needle. The Technics SL-3210 is a very solid turntable with excellent performance. Provided with the famous quickly starting Direct Drive system by Technics, in which the platter is a part of the motor. Therefore it requires little maintenance and you will never have to replace the drive belt. The casing is solid and has a bottom made of the famous material TNRC (Technics Non Resonant Compound). The turntable is in a beautiful condition and is good for many years of carefree enjoyment still to come. The drive shift is treated with new original Technics oil.
