I am thinking of picking up a Technics SL1000 MK2 from a friend for a price I can't pass up. (free) He has 4 of them and I have always wanted one. I am undecided on finding an older turntable to match my vintage 1960's tube amp though, or just using the Technics. It would be nice to find some vintage speakers too...
This is not for my primary stereo. Just something to piece together for fun.

Go for it. It is one of the best TT ever made.. Just be aware there is 2 different platters.. Or damping of the platter.. If you remove the rubber mat, and knock the platter on the outer edge with a nail.. you will hear if it starts ringing. or not.. The later is prefered.

Why not hook it up to your Vintage Yamaha NS-1000s?

I've had my eye on the Project Debut III to replace my old broken Sony turntable. Just waiting on a good deal  :D

I ended up not getting the SL1000. Instead I saw a Technics SP-25 with a 15" wood Grado arm that caught my eye. My friend played it for me, it sounded great and I liked the look. So I picked it up. Soon as I get it cleaned up I'll take some pics.
