Hi AK,
Was wondering if anyone here could help with an SL-1200mk1 that's seeing speed irregularity, particularly on power cycles. This is now a DIY project — a third turntable I don't really need but due to the rarity I'd love for it to operate properly. I've taken this to a local tech figuring...
Hey guys, just wanted to get some opinions here, any input would be greatly appreciated.
My current set up is a pioneer sx-535 receiver, pioneer cs-500g speakers, and technics sl-3200. Where should I go from here for the biggest jump to upgrade sound? I feel like the synergy in my set up is...
Using newly repaired turntable. Left channel on my Technics SA 205 receiver works for a while, then cuts out. Sometimes I can hear static like sound from the left speaker. The red/white RCA cables, I swapped one pair for another. if I move them in a particular way, a loud hum is emitted from...
Hi all,
I recently bought a Technics SU-VZ320 Amplifier which I can find next to no information about online. I was hoping members could share their thoughts/experiences with this model.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys! I have a Technics SU8600 which I have owned around one and a half year now, and it was daily used for some months in a row when I got it. I had a little thread on it before about resistors.

Hey,
Don’t know which forum this question belongs in, so apologies in advance for any mistakes.
Looking for a highly reputable person who isn’t going to charge a fortune to fix my vintage Technics dd automatic turntable. Cueing mech not working properly.
Must be in NYC area. I know there are...
Hello,
recently purchased a technics SL-DD33 turntable. It looks to be in excellent condition and I really like the way it works. Except for one problem - when I turn on my amp, a fairly loud humming noise comes from the speakers. I connected the ground wire, and it reduced the humming noise by...
What, if any, other Technics tonearm weights will fit an 1800? Looks looks the 1200 weight will fit. But since I can't find parts lists for either, I was hoping someone could maybe confirm for me.
Thanks,
Hi everyone, I’ve just signed up as I would love to get a little advice on these old Technics Amps… I recently got a strong craving to listen to my old vinyl albums again, and I’ve always been fond of Technics, my Dad had a great system when I was a kid, and I listened to my albums on that till...
Hey all,
Previous casual vinyl listener here - trying to upgrade my setup. I am definitely not looking for anything top of the line or groundbreaking, just hoping to get ahold of some solid, quality gear that will compliment each other well and make for a nice setup.
I am pretty new to...
Long time lurker, first time poster…
I’m trying to do my due diligence and figure out what will work best for me. Any and all advice is much appreciated. I’m currently running an old Technics SL-2000 with a ready to be replaced AT95E cart. I listen 99% of the time via headphones (AT m50x)...
So I recently picked up a Technics SU-V96 Amp and a Technics ST-S96 Tuner for a decent price, but has an issue with the electronic volume up/down and balance buttons. The volume buttons are very sporadic with how they work and won't turn up and down the volume very easily whatsoever and...
Good evening everyone,
I recently picked-up a used Technics SL-1300. After cleaning it up a bit and fixing some speed issues, the thing was running smoothly. Until after about a week of listening the left channel went pop-crack-crunch and was completely gone. After some jiggling and...
Hi all,
I have been listening music so far using a Naim NAIT 5i with Dali Oberon 7 speakers, but found this combination to be lacking in the low end so went on a quest to find a "new" amplifier which would hopefully be able to drive the speakers better.
Due to the environment I have been raised...
Good Afternoon!
I've recently acquired a Technics SL-Q3 and I want to replace the capacitors because it would be a fun project and for peace of mind. According to the schematics, C205 is showing it should be 10uf 16v but I found on C205 on the board is 220uf 6.3v, which is odd because every...
The one I have is oozing oily stuff and also slightly warped from what I can tell, but I can't seem to find the specific one that would fit the platter.
Hello,
I need assistance from a Technics fan. I would like to know which Technics amplifiers have same power transformers as Technics su-v4x. I want to make one dual mono amplifier, and I already have one transformer from technics su-v4x (it is SLT5N441). Now, since I cannot find another SU-V4X...
Hi,
Thanks for your time and hopefully someone has an idea about the issue I'm having with the Technics SA-300.
I'm new to working on receivers outside of replacing some obviously failed old capacitors.
I recently found this receiver at a thrift shop and it cleaned up very nicely - Sounded...
I drive a Technics ST-X901L, with an indoor cable antenna and, well, it sounds good. But surely there will be better ones, of higher quality. What are they?
Another question, does it make sense to go from the ST-X901L to the ST-X999L.
Thank you for your attention.
Greetings to all!
I am looking for somebody to repair my Technics SL1200 MK2 turntable. Probably needs to be re-wired.
I live in the Hattiesburg MS area so far have not been able to find anybody. Any help would be greatly. appreciated,

I hope I'm in the right section for someone to see my request for specs for the bulbs for right/left channel operation indicator bulbs in Technics SE-TX100 dual mono amp. I have three of these amps and only two of the six bulbs are working. I looked for a service manual on HiFi-engine but no...
Does anyone know the size of the transport screws for the SL-1300MK2? I found threads on here describing transport screw sizes for the SL-1600MK2, but not this one. I want to use the transport screws to bypass the shot suspension until I can repair it. Any help would be appreciated
I have a Technics SL-1200MK3D. In very good condition.
In attempting to get the metal 45 adapter to fit onto a 45, I realized I was putting pressure on the turntable plate.
!0 to 15 lbs. of pressure for a few seconds. I know the 1200's are built like tanks but just wondering if that might have...
Hi all, first post! I find myself surprisingly expeled from Vinyl Engine [1] and instead of faking my way back in I've decided to turn a new leaf and start somewhere else.
I bought a Technics SL-5 a few months ago which was advertised as being in perfect working order. This was close to true...
Hello everyone,
First time poster here! I'm sorry if this is the incorrect area to be posting questions, but I'm hitting dead ends and need some help.
I purchased a pair of SB-A70 Technics last summer from someone who wasn't honest about their operating condition. I connected them up (two...
