Technics SL1100A Turntable - Use Price
« on: 20 Nov 2011, 05:05 pm »
I am trying to find/purchase a Technics SL1100A turntable in at least excellent condition, but have no clue what the Bluebook or going price is these days.  There does not seem to be many for sale on ebay, etc.  Does anyone have any idea what the "going" price is?  I know of one table that is reported to be "almost" like new, but it is being offered at $450 which seems high to me but then maybe not. 

Thanks.

sheitert,   Welcome.  I'm an AR person, so I don't know much about the Technics SL1100, yet on Audiogon I see here is one and they are asking $650 http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1328030649&/Technics-SL-1100-totally-trans. Good luck with your search.  Cheers,  Jim

Interesting reading on that ad.........Rumble >70db     That would be very noisey for AR.

Hello Sheitert,
Welcome to the monkey house. I don't subscribe to Blue Book, but it might be of limited use here. The price of desirable vintage tables seems to be dictated by availability and demand for a particular model. One thing is for sure, they keep going up, especially in the past few years.

For those not familiar with the 1100, it's here:
http://www.thevintageknob.org/technics-SL-1100.html

Perhaps you're a collector and want this particular model, or maybe you've decided that this would be a good table w/a different arm. The 110 arm doesn't really look to be up to modern standards. Any example has to be at least 35 yrs old. I suspect many have fallen by the wayside by now. The going price is whatever one can get. The one on Agon is a piece of furniture and is overpriced IMO. There is/was one advertised recently for $450. I'm not sure if it's a good value, but that depends on why you want it. It looked to be in very good condition.

If this is for general use, you might want to consider something like a 1200, SP-15 or various models by Kenwood or JVC etc.

Piggybacking off of Mr. Neobop's thoughts, I just happened to come upon an SL-110 sans arm on this site ...

A nice SME3009 would be a great match for this table...
