The Technics SL-1310 is a vintage, fully automatic direct-drive turntable introduced in the mid-1970s. It uses a low-speed brushless DC motor, a heavy die-cast aluminum platter, servo-controlled speed regulation, and an S-shaped universal tonearm. Automation features include auto-cueing, automatic record-size selection, auto-start, auto-return, and repeat. The SL-1310 is closely related to the SL-1300 and was sold in different regional finishes and versions. Specifications can vary slightly by market and between the original SL-1310 and later SL-1310 Mk2.
