I had a dump find SL-5 for (quite) a while. It was so easy to use, and it just. worked. No fuss, no muss, no bother. I used it extensively in my annual holiday music dubbing frenzy for a while. Ultimately gave it to the son of friends of ours who'd gotten interested in vinyl.
PS Should be a 1/2" mount adapter (adaptor?) available for your P-mount cartridge, @tonyp063 -- at least on the aftermarket.
Chance favors the prepared mind. 
PPS Speaking of P-mounts (and photos), this followed me home from the last NEVEC fleamarket - from the freebie table. If it's free, it's for me. Some things never change...
The little finger-lift is half-broken, but otherwise it works pretty well. It was curated sans cartridge, but even I have a couple-three P-mounts of questionable heritage hanging around for just such an opportunity.
P^3S Looking at those old photos of the SL-5, I realize that the 'turntable stand' is an early Polk Monitor Series Model 10 (unsuffixed). I had bought a pair of those, in meh to fair condition, from a hifi buddy near Boston many years back. They're... in the basement.

I am embarrassed to say that I only learned of the... interoperability of Stanton & Pickering in the modern era; I had no idea back in the day.
That's the one I had. It had a little brush attached to it. -

I finally broke down and bought some T-111 ( treated
) to repair the 30-year-old, mostly water-damaged siding on my barn-shed. It wasn't easy! But, slow and steady...I'm getting it done. It just had the roof sheathing and shingles replaced in April. These renewal projects should last another 30 years.
I will keep putting bug killer around the inside perimeter every year to combat termites!
I did get minor termite damage, but that was when I was pretty bad off and didn't spray for a year or two.
The sides are 4' high. So I figured doing 2' treated panels on the bottom ought to be plenty of protection, and I get 4 panels out of a sheet of T-111 too.
99% was water rotting over 30 years. I probably could have gotten away with new 18" panels. Well, after taking the old damaged panels off, I cut NICE 18" panels out of them. I tossed the rotten 6" cut-offs into the trash bin.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Well that's one way to do it for sure. What I did when I had water damaged t111 at the end grain was to cut off about 6". Then I slipped the aluminum lip under the old t111 and used a pressure treated board that I'd routed with a rounding over bit on the bottom. It's been several years now; no more delamination on the old t111 and no doubt the pt baseboard will outlast me.

Male **** actors have been doing this for years.
They would go down to Brazil to have a Special Treatment from this Spyder's bite.
They would lay down on a board, face down with a hole a specific place, and the Spyder was somehow encouraged to bite the hanging appendage.
Don't ask how I know this..... -

Very nice work Tony. You going to paint it to match?
What is that bright red tree/bush in the fourth photo? -
I sure will paint it to match. I'll prime the new and then paint it all with a fresh coat.
This treated T-111 has to dry out for a month or two first.
It's a "Bloodgood" Japanese maple OR "Fireglow Japanese Maple" It changes color each season but in Wintertime there are no leaves.. Birds and squirrels LOVE to use it for perching and playing in. Squirrels LOVE the seedlings. They're like little treats for them.
Fireglow:
The Fireglow Japanese Maple is among the best red-leaf maples available. Smaller than ‘Bloodgood’, it holds its red leaf color in summer heat much better, and its size, to just 12 feet or so, makes it a top choice for smaller gardens or smaller spaces. The beautiful 5-lobed leaves are brilliant red in spring, turning burgundy red all summer, and then returning to glowing red in fall. A good crop of red maple keys in winter keeps it interesting all year round. Grow it as a specimen on a lawn, at the back of beds, in a courtyard or Asian garden, or in a container, where it will stay smaller, but be just as beautiful.
Superb small tree with the best red summer leaves
Bright red in spring and fall, burgundy in summer
Doesn’t turn purple or green, even in hot summers
Great choice for smaller gardens
Resists heat and dryness well
The Fireglow Japanese Maple is hardy from zone 5 into all hotter areas, and it resists fading and scorching well. It should be in full sun in cooler zones, and in afternoon shade in warmer ones. The soil should be rich, moist and well-drained. Add organic material when planting, and mulch in spring with more, to keep the roots cool and moist. Pests and diseases are almost never a problem, and no pruning is needed to keep it compact and beautiful all year round.

I have a nice Japanese Maple in my front yard. The leaves are gone now though. Was that photo from a month ago or are you still hanging onto leaves near the coast?
-
We have 4 Japanese Maples. 2 in the front yard, 2 in the back. One in the front has dropped all the leaves just in the past week, it seems. It's a Burgundy color all year. The little green one out front is hanging on to its leaves for now.
The green Japanese maple beside our back porch is BIG and its slowly sheding its leaves but it still has a lot left also.
The pictures of the Bloodgood (?) are from a day or 2 ago and the one of my wife blowing leaves is from yesterday.
That Bloodgood (?) puts on quite a showing most Fall seasons. Our back neighbor has a small Bloodgood (?) that does the same.
Mother Nature is AMAZING!
Our neighbor 2 doors down, god rest her soul, gave me a root clipping from her Magnificent "Chinese Tallow" tree a few or more years ago. She clipped off a budding sprout from a little root and said Plant it, and it WILL grow, guaranteed. This tree species puts on a REAL showing too! Tassels and seed pods during summer and then in the fall...it glows! From green to yellow and orange. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

I happen to have a pic of the back yard Japanese Maple tree on July 9th 2025.
