I must have seen about 200 SP-10MK2's here in the UK, none had any led in the start/stop.
No, sounds like a master console lockout or something similar. It may be that the remote jack can still facilitate remote s/s as well, but no way I can tell with out a schematic.
Your connector is unusual and different from the stock one like mine ... even my connector had resistors attached to the back, the cables were connected to a button and the start / stop button.
I can confirm that it was a Matsushita commissioned adaptation and is not a DIY; a turntable similar to mine produced the same year/month and day and with very close serial numbers owned by an Australian (I reside in Europe) had the exact same modification.
I think it was used to turn the strobe light on or off independently of the start/stop button.
had a couple of days free to make a panzerholz plinth for mine,my main turntable is a sony tts-8000 so i was keen to compare.
just finished setting the sp10 up and im impressed. not a huge difference but there is one for sure,i get the cd like comments often made on forums,im also hearing a more detailed focus, again not huge. so far so good. once i get used to it i'll finish the plinth.
