Hi Steve, I would encourage you to replace the old grease from the gears in the arm mechanism. These gears are a weak spot and are probably the cause of the noise you hear. New grease will likely make the mechanism more silent and will prevent the gears from cracking. Refer to the service...

Hi Migyver, congratulations on your purchase, a bargain! May I suggest you download the service manual from https://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-1401.shtml You will have the explosion drawings, my suggestion is that you strip the unit so you can remove old grease and grime and give...

Download the service manual from here. You dont need the transport screws unless you transport :-) So remove platter, headshell, tonearm weight, secure the arm and flip it over on the cover. From there start taking out screws and take pictures while doing... Consider yourself lucky if you found...

Thanks for the advice! I will try to order the bespoke parts and report back!

Hi Mooch, my advice: mechanical before electrical! Clean all switches and pots and then try again.

Hi, So, as I said I've got the turntable and it would not start. Apart from repairing a broken armstand and anti-skating stick I did the following to get it running again I've replaced X1, X2, X3, X4, and the caps around it on the board, I can't remember exactly which ones. The motor has been...

Hi Guys, I'm working on a luxman PD 277. When I got it, it was dead, but after replacing some transistors and caps it runs again and is pretty stable, or so it seems. 2 issues: 1 - when the turntable is in one specific position it won't start from itself, it needs a little push and then starts...

Hi Guys, I'm working on the same board on a luxman PD 277. When I got it, it was dead, but after replacing some transistors and caps it runs again, and pretty stable, or so it seems. 2 issues: 1 - when the turntable is in one specific position it wont start from itself, it needs a little push...

Well, I got lucky and got one for free, but it doesn't work :) Goes on, indicator lights light up (except te power, but I assume its the bulb), seems ok. However, none of the inputs results in output, headphones are silent a VU meter doesn't move a bit. All fuses are ok. Speaker relais don't...

Restoring a Technics SU-8099, a SU-V8, an SL1310MK2 and some 1200's

WOOHOO! I fixed mine, replaced transistors X1, X2, X3 and X4 on the motor driver board.

Did you remove all of the old grease from the mechanics? The gears get sticky through the years...

THANK YOU! It was as simple as the relay, tapped it, sound came back. I tried to take off the cover of the relay: no succes. I ordered a new one and just for now i made two tiny holes in the side with my soldering iron and sprayed it with kontakt 60 (like your deoxit). Problem solved. Thank you...

After a long search I'm the happy owner of these gems. Hooked up to a set of JBL L65 and a technics sl1610MK2 it sings beautifully ... when the volume is above level 1. Below the right channel cracks, disappears, comes back, disappears... It's making me nuts since the soundlevel is to high for...

Did you manage to get it fixed? Mine has the same issue.

The cueing belt only involves the tonearmlift, the movement is done by gears and is powered by the platter movement.

The only thing left to do is put new oil in the damping mechanism, i ordered som 500,000 cst from a rc car company.

As for the saggy weight: I managed to fix it with only minor disassembly of the arm. Here's the procedure 1 - open op the unit and remove the platform with the arm 2 - remove the screw that holds the wire connector, that way we will have a bit more wire to work with 3 - loosen the 2 hex screws...

Hi Guys, as for the speed problem: I did a full recap that did not solve the problem. However, there's a pot labeled "tracking", after cleaning it, I played around a bit with it and that did the trick!

Here's the picture.

Hi, i replaced the dial bulbs with 12V - 5W automotive lamps. The display is not super bright but it's ok. Since I hardly listen to radio I did not bother to change the stereo and scale indicator lamp. As I recall the voltage measured was 8V and for the dial indicator was a resistor in series so...

Fixed it! There is a Tracking pot, on the front side, just under the cover, here you can adjust the speed.

I just finished recapping the whole board as I did not fancy troubleshooting. Well it's a partial succes: - If i press start directly after power at 33 rpm it skips forwards/backwards +-10 times and then it runs smooth - At 45 rpm it' s spot on. If I power it up for 10 seconds before pressing...

DUH, I missed the screw, that did the trick! I just got a new belt, I ordered one for a 600 and got one for a 300, are they the same? I doubt that because it runs too fast... Does anyone has a service manual?

Hi, I just got a near mint cec ba-600 turntable, works fine except the armlift doest lift the arm high enough to put the needle on the record. I cannot find any service manual, cannot find a screw to adjust, any ideas?
