    Is this the one that appeared on TechMoan's video once ? It looks like it, I remember seeing something very similar to this unit and it remained in my mind since then.
    At the time, when I did a quick search, could not find a single unit for sale, seemed very rare.

    Great find, I've never seen one for sale over here, I don't check JP very often, too many tempting goodies. I posted some info about this model a few years ago, then the Techmoan Video came out, coincidence?

    @Mister X Do you have some reference to the info you posted about the model ? By the way, what is the model number of this Technics ? M1 ?

    I have two of these. One silver and one black one. I need to open them up. I bought them from buyee Japan, several months ago and I forgot about them and just rereading this thread reminded me. Oh yes, something else to work on.
