I go over the feature differences between three different Technics SL-1200 models - the MKII or MK2, M3D, and MK5.
Changes to the M3D from the MK2 include:
1) Pitch control Reset switch
2) Headshell holder
3) Power switch collar
4) No hinges included
Changes to MK5 from MK2
1) All the changes from M3D
2) Different tonearm with Anti-Skate from 0-6g grams (0-3 grams on MK2 and M3d), and height adjustment from 0-6mm.
3) Voltage selector switch (for other mains power, previously only for SL-1210 models)
4) Available in Noir black and silver.
SL-1200MK5G - added digitally controlled pitch adjustment.
There was an SL-1200MK4 and MK6, however, those are Japan only models. MK4 had 78 speed, and MK6 had improved tonearm mounting and oxygen-free copper tonearm wire.
There was also an SL-1200 MK3 (Japan only in black) that was exactly like the MK2, but added gold plated RCA jacks instead of hard wired output, as well as MK3D, which also added the speed Reset switch.
