I paid £16 for a BROKEN Technics SL-PS700 ... Was it a Scam? 😱

I took a massive gamble on a Technics SL-PS700 from a local auction for just £16. These MASH-system players are legendary for their sound, but this one was sold as "Untested/Trash." In this video, I "Sort It Out" by diagnosing a missing audio channel and uncovering a classic Technics manufacturing flaw that kills these machines over time. If you have an old Technics amp or CD player with "cutting out" audio, this simple soldering fix might be all you need! In this workshop session: Deep dive into the SL-PS700 build quality.
