This is a *highly modified* SL-1200MK5 "Audiophile Standard Turntable" modified by KAB Electro Acoustics.

This is not your standard SL-1200 "TEC-12" 'table...  It's also several steps above in modifications than our in-house custom (and made to order) SL-1200MK2 best selling offering. 

So if you love the SL-1200 than you'll go crazy over this version!

The KAB Audiophile Standard Turntable upgrades include:

• Outboard power supply
• Suspension feet
• 1/4" Rubber Mat
• Tonearm damper
• Cables

• Plus more...

More information about the MK5 courtesy of Wikipedia:
"Released on 1 November 2000, has a silver finish like the MK2, increases the range of anti-skate settings from 0–3 grams-force (0–30 mN) to 0–6 grams-force (0–60 mN).

It has a white LED target light (previous versions only had an incandescent bulb).

Current MK5 models have a removable lid with magnets as opposed to the MK2 and MK3 removable hinged lid. Available as 120 volt model for the North American market.

The MK5 is the last 1200 model to retain an analog pitch control."
