Dobbins Technics Sp10Mk3

(Price Lowered - sale pending) A real steal for those who realize what an incredible value this direct drive deck represents.  Dobbins Technics Sp10Mk3, used client trade-in unit.  Includes set of Stillpoints Ultra isolation footers and additional spare Aluminum composite armboard (not shown).  The Japanese 100v 50Hz/60Hz power supply logic controller has been professionally rebuilt from top to bottom and calibrated by Artisan Fidelity at which point it was modified to safely operate in a 120v/60Hz voltage environment.  A brand new replacement Fidelis Analog MN6042 pitch synthesizer chipset was just installed during the service, so no need to be concerned about the vintage Technics factory IC chipset in the Sp10Mk3's power supply causing any unforeseen issues down the road.  The internal main bearing sleeve and journal have been fully inspected, cleaned, micro polished and re-oiled using the proper low viscosity hydrodynamic oil.  Plinth is a composite layered, solid mass loaded type, more information can be shared from the manufacturer. 

Overall, the physical condition is good with a few nicks and scuffs with some paint wear which I would rate a conservative 7/10 and operational condition a perfect 10/10.

Professional automotive paint finishing services available, custom colors optional upon request. 

Knowledgeable enthusiasts are well aware that the Matsushita era Technics Sp10Mk3 remains an audiophile legend and this example will make music for many, many more years to come.  Record player is functioning perfectly and will be professionally packed for safe shipping worldwide.
