Is there a non-DJ version of the Technics SL-1200 Series?


Hey A-goN,

I think I recall mention on a non-DJ / Home Audio version of the venerable Technics SL-1200 series of turntables. What is the non-DJ version made for home audio? Is it the SL-1600? Is there a mk II-V, etc., like there was with the SL-1200? Does the non-DJ version command a lower price on the used market? Is there any down-side to the non-DJ version? Any missing features, etc.?

I sometimes see SL-1600, SL1650 and SL-1700 for sale locally. Are these worth owning? 

Thanks for any information and recommendations.

To recommend a suitable turntable, we need to know how you are planning to use it. If you want to put on a record, sit down and listen, then there are many good turntables with better vibration isolation than the SL-1200mk2. Also keep in mind that the SL-1200mk2 is an often abused turntable by rap-“djs“, and probably needs major overhauling of the spindle, motor and tonearm. On the other hand, if you are planning to use it as a rap controller for serato, just get any cheap $50 turntable at Walmart or an electronic encoder that is designed for serato. 
@sleepwalker65 are you ill ? 

this is all from your posts, see below, i think you need a doctor

If he wants to be a rap-“DJ”, then he doesn’t need a turntable, but need a serato box and a rap controller or two.  

My first SL-1700mk2 was a rescue case, nearly destroyed by a rap-“DJ”. He took the feet off of it and lost them.

The Technics SL-1200mk2 is a risky proposition. Most of them have been thrashed by rap-“DJ”s and will need all moving parts replaced.

... these ham-handed orangutans destroy millions of SL-1200mk2 turntables every year.

...well that it survives even being abused by sub-human rap...-“DJ”s.

... most SL-1200mk2 turntables have been destroyed by rap...“DJ”s.

This one of my upgraded SL1210mkII on Isonoe feet, with KAB Fluid damper, fully rewired, with Orsonic headshell and the ultimate Glanz MFG-61 cartridge (find more in Glanz thread about the carts).

When i decided to upgrade further i just replaced the turntable with this SP-10 mkII

If you don't like the "dj look" of SL1200 series, just go for the ultimate SP-10 mkII (used), this is a much better turntable. But even SP-10 mkII was made for radiostations, broadcast studios and have been used by radio DJs for decades. This is the ultimate High-End Direct Drive for audiophiles too. 
I'm just looking for a second TT that I can use in a second system and sometimes to leave the house for local audio get-together ( 3-4 times per year). Looking for inexpensive table that doesn't require any fuss for this use case.

I may just end up with an Audio Technical  AT-LP120-USB for this use case. If so, I might go through the effort of bypassing the internal phono pre-amp as I've read it provides an improvement in SQ.

Thanks for your replies. May keep the 2 new Technics on my radar and I may pick up a Pioneer PLX-1000 if I see one at a good price.
