Release Year:
The Technics SL-D2 was released around 1979–1980, during the golden era of Technics direct-drive engineering.

The Technics SL-D2 was manufactured in Japan.

Technics, a brand under Matsushita (now Panasonic), produced almost all of their direct-drive turntables — including the SL-D2 — at their factories in Japan during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
This was a big part of the Technics reputation: high-precision Japanese engineering, excellent build quality, and ultra-reliable quartz-lock technology.
