Questions from Birmingham sellers

The things people round here actually ask before they sell their decks.

What's a Technics deck worth in Birmingham right now?
It depends on the variant and condition. A clean MK2 from the bhangra and reggae years sits differently to a boxed Grand Class SL-1200G, and a matched pair lifts the figure over two singles. We don't quote numbers in copy — see the current ranges on the Technics page (/sell-my-technics/#value), then send photos for a firm offer.
How fast can you collect a Technics in Birmingham?
Next-day, free, across the B postcodes. We run a scheduled Birmingham day down the M1 and M42 from South Yorkshire and route several stops into it, so a Moseley B13 pair or a Selly Oak B29 single both get the same slot. Tell us the model and your window and we'll book it; we pay on exchange at the door.
Which Technics variants do you buy from Birmingham sellers — MK2 through MK7?
All of them. Heritage MK2 and MK3 decks come up constantly here from the bhangra and reggae circuit, MK5s off graduating students round Selly Oak, and we take the newer MK7 and the Grand Class SL-1200G and GR too. Single or matched pair, name the variant and we'll value it.
Do worn pitch faders and a loose tonearm knock much off a Technics quote?
They're factored in, not dealbreakers. Decks gigged hard through Digbeth warehouse nights often show crackly faders, a worn pitch slider or play in the tonearm bearing. We quote on actual condition and tell you what's affecting the figure. A scratchy fader or tired RCA leads rarely change much against a sound platter and motor.
Can you take a faulty or spares-or-repair SL-1200 from around the Jewellery Quarter?
Yes — dead decks have value to us. A seized platter, a non-starting motor, a snapped pitch fader or a missing tonearm still carries worth as a parts donor, and the MK2 chassis is sought after for restoration. Photograph what's wrong, and if it's one of a pair we'll value the working deck alongside it.
Does a missing dust cover or a cracked lid hurt the offer on a Birmingham Technics?
A little, but it won't sink the figure. Genuine hinged lids and original dust covers add to a quote, most on the Grand Class and limited runs, and cracked or missing ones are common on decks carried round the reggae and soundsystem scene for years. Photograph the lid and the hinges; we'll price the deck on its merits.
