Technics SLP-500

Here's a vintage CD player from 1986...the Technics SLP-500. This one's a beauty! I don't own one of these (yes, feel sad for me...) and this isn't my video, so hopefully it won't disappear like the other one did. But I love the look of this player-- the brushed silver front, the display, and that cool green light above the CD tray. Amazing that it can handle CD-Rs too! They don't make 'em like they used to.

  1. Hi. Great blog, althought I have not had time to look at all of your posts. But I like what I see and it's great to find another low budget audio junkie out there. I will look over your other posts over the next few days and comment some more. When you have some time, I hope that you will check out my blog and my archived posts from last year. I am just getting started so bear with me. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks, "The Vinyl Dude"

  4. I own this high quality player. You can program the cds tracks to play in the any order skipping and repeating tracks as desired. I am planning to sell it since I am moving and can't keep everything.

  5. I just recently picked up this player off of CL for a few bucks. Technics made some excellent well built CD players back in the day. Better sounding ones can be had today, but I love the sound and build of these old players. At this current time, they can be had for a few dollars at a thrift store. Fun to pick and clean up to see which sound best.
