It is a numbered Limited Edition piece, in particular number 3850 out of 12,000 produced worldwide. (as marked on the bottom right corner). Believe it or not, those are low production numbers for a powerhouse company like Technics.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've never had one of these in the shop and were excited to see it in person.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotable changes compared to a standard SL-1200MK7 include a gold and black felt record mat, gold tonearm and limited edition logo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SL-1200Mk7 is the latest edition of the SL-1200Mk lineage of turntables enjoyed by DJs and Audiophiles alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have paired with this turntable a brand new Hana SH MKII phono cartridge ($850), This will be calibrated using our 12 step process ($390) which means the table will arrive ready to rock and roll. The Hana SH MKii is a great MC cartridge that can be used with phono preamps with only MM inputs.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, we are taking to the next level with some of our favorite accessories.

We check for freedom of movement or any resistance on both the horizontal and vertical range. There is a quick test for this which involves placing the table on its front edge and allowing the arm to swing freely like a pendulum. We then make any adjustments necessary to achieve minimal resistance and sometimes adjust the bearing pressure. On gimbal tonearms we inspect the cone tip with a magnifier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then assess the platter speed using one of several methods, the most accurate being playing a test tone on a test record and measuring the frequency output with a frequency counter or oscilloscope. We also utilize test equipment to measure the wow and flutter to ensure it is within spec. We do this for all speeds available for that particular model (33 RPM, 45 RPM, 78 RPM).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustments are then made to achieve proper speed which will vary depending on the turntable's drive design. Some require an adjustment of an internal or external potentiometer, some will require a pulley or motor adjustment. We also inspect the platter bearing to ensure it is properly lubricated, keeping in mind that some bearings don't require lubrication at all\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then inspect the power supply and address any issues with overworked capacitors, particularly on Linn and later Thorens machines which tend to need attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn fully mechanical vintage tables like the Thorens TD-124 and Garrard 301\/401 we will go thought the entire mechanism. Then replace any worn parts and lubricate all components necessary to ensure smooth operation, speed change, and low mechanical noise. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen fitting a new phono cartridge we will go through our detailed calibration process which can involve as many as 12 steps depending on the tonearm design. We perform this work on our custom turntable calibration rig which was developed in-house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of these steps include:\u003cbr\u003e• Pivot to Spindle Adjustment\u003cbr\u003e• Tracking Force\u003cbr\u003e• Anti-Skate\u003cbr\u003e• Tonearm Height\u003cbr\u003e• Lifter Height\u003cbr\u003e• VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle)\u003cbr\u003e• Azimuth\u003cbr\u003e• Stylus Distance and Overhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then do a critical listening test using our test records and our test system to ensure proper sonics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Technics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125591425278,"sku":"106822","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/technics-sl-1200mk7-50th-anniversary-limited-edition-w-new-hana-mh-mc-phono-cartridge-and-accessories-turntable-142.jpg?v=1762800066","url":"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/en-au\/products\/technics-sl-1200mk7-50th-anniversary-limited-edition-w-new-hana-mh-mc-phono-cartridge-and-accessories","provider":"SkyFi Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
