Technics SL-1700
Semi-Automatic Direct Drive Automatic Turntable - mkI Servo control (1977-78) - mkII Quartz locked (1979-81)

Description
The SL-1700 offers the famous Technics direct drive system with the added convenience of semi-automatic operation.
Once the tonearm is manually positioned over the lead in grooves, the automatic mechanism will lower the tonearm onto the record when the lever is flicked, and automatically return it to the arm rest at the completion of play. The unit is then automatically shut off.
This handy feature frees the user from rushing to the turntable at the end of record play and also saves wear on your stylus.
At any time during play, flicking the stop lever will cause the tonearm to automatically lift up and return to the arm rest.

I was looking for a manual for my SL-1700. The instruction manuals listed are not the manuals for the SL-1700 turntable I have.
