It also has a quartz-controlled high-stability oscillator and a straight tonearm with an S-shaped anti-skating mechanism for optimal tracking. The turntable has a speed selector switch that allows for three speeds: 33 1/3 RPM, 45 RPM, and 78 RPM.The SL-40 was discontinued in the 1980s, but its advanced technologies and excellent sound quality continue to make it a highly sought-after collector's item for vinyl enthusiasts today.
