Building
on the industry standards set by the SL-1210M3D,
the Technics SL-1210MK5

features.
Significant tonearm modifications have greatly
reduced skipping and with customizeable braking
speeds,
you can really fine tune your performance. There

light is no longer a regular light bulb, but a
LED light, which should never burn out.
