MCS turntables were sold out of JC Penney locations in the 70's and 80's. These were rebadged Technics models with a slightly different aesthetic. The 6602 has a Technics 3100-3300 circuit board and motor assembly, and a SL-2000 tonearm. The footprint is slightly larger, and it's slightly heavier as well.
Delivery is available for the greater Greenville South Carolina area.

I've been restoring Technics turntables for just under ten years, with almost 1000 tables sold in that time. These turntables have had all new electrolytic capacitors installed, all switches and potentiometers deoxed with DN5, RCA contacts polished, motor lubed, etc, etc.. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. This is what I do, and I enjoy sharing any of my knowledge or receiving more of it.
Here is a quick summary of the maintenance and restoration process for each turntable.
* All electrolytic capacitors replaced with quality components. Film capacitors or used in some instances for better performance.
* Speed selector switch and both internal and external speed potentiometers deoxed with DN5
* Tonearm bearings checked, lubed, and adjusted if necessary.
* RCA cable ends and tonearm to headshell connection points polished for superior connectivity. If the RCA cables are in bad condition I will replace them with gold plated units.
* Spindle lubed with the appropriate light weight oil.
* Internal auto function levers, bushings, etc., relubed. This procedure varies the most from model to model.
* All solder connections checked for cold joints.
* Dustcover hinges tightened.
* Cue damping fluid checked for proper viscosity and drop down rate. Replaced if necessary.
* Turntable is cleaned and the dustcover is polished.
* Lastly the table is thoroughly tested for proper performance.
