Well actually, when taking a closer look at the pic, I see it's just the regular SL1200 LTD, with no extra cover whatsoever. It's just the default "piano-black" finish of the LTD.

The LTD came out a long time ago. It was the first 1200 to have a quartz reset button. Later they just used the same option on the m3D.

If you wanna see a real "pimp" finish take a look at this


It's the one of the dutch Pioneer representative. It's not a separate cover, he just stripped the TT apart and used that special granite texture paint...

no offence, but i don`t like that one @ all

Would be cool to have one with transparent cover.

no, it is a cover. you can see it at the pitch adjust. its lower then the cover. the ltd-logo is only putted on it.

The real LTD has that indented pitch also, I've always found that an esthetic flaw on the LTD's. But you may be right. You can't really judge it by the pic though.

you may be right. but how the hell could you put this terrible looking needle on this nobly tt??

hmm, i looked at the pic for a second time. and now i think it is the normal ltd. isn't it possible, that it is the normal black ltd. this one has this special color. it could also be black.

The LTD normal has a black laqué finish, called piano black. But it's very difficult to see on this pic if the real color is black, because you only see reflections.

About the needle, I guess they didn't have the money anymore to install it with the Ortofon Gold (it was made for this TT). Oh well, it's still an Ortofon model (it's a Tonar Banana, but Ortofon makes it in fact).

yes, i think it is the piano black. its difficult, but it could that color be.

i know the needle, bit i hate this one. a normal nightclub would be better and not that stupid ones
