Technics SL BD20

33rpm works perfectly, I have had trouble with transition into 45rpm mode, won't quite 'click' into gear. Therefore great if you only play 33rpm records, or if you know how to fix it, I think it's a matter of being out of alignment rather than anything broken because it will go into 45 mode sometimes. I replaced the needle when I bought it and only used it twice, so you know the thing won't damage your vinyl (needle is essentially new). Made in Japan, more than decent sound, and I read in a few reviews that this can be a very fine sounding record player if the cartridge is replaced, always an option: http://www.audioreview.com/cat/analog-sources/turntables/technics/sl-bd20d-semi-automatic-turntable/prd_126807_1597crx.aspx
