    Is slight base tonearm movement normal when unlocking height adjustment (Technics SL-1200 MK2)?

    I recently noticed something on my Technics SL-1200 MK2 and wanted to check if it’s normal or something I should be concerned about. When I unlock the tonearm height adjustment (the VTA ring lock), the base of the tonearm seems to shift ever so slightly—maybe around 1 mm. This only happens at...

    Vm 1297 tonearm jumping

    Hello. This is my 1st attempt to restore one of these turntables. Ive disassembled it and lubed it but during cycle this finger on the 10" sensor snags on the locator. Does anyone know the correct orientation of this finger? I assume its just bent or something. Thank you.

    Marantz Model 1200 Left Channel Issue

    Hello AK, I recapped my Model 1200 in 2011 thanks to all the help from various members. I still love the sound and look of the model, but for a while I have been noticing the left channel is quieter than the right channel, especially right after I power on. If I keep using it, the left channel...

    My Experience with Rebuilding a Marantz 1200 Integrated

    I posted here a while back that I was looking for what many considered to be the best, or their favorite, Marantz integrated amplifier. Most of the results came back either 1060 or 1200. I bought a 1060 and did an extreme rebuild on it. While I liked the general sound of it there was some oomph...

    New Cartridge for V-M Changer?

    My circa-1961 Westinghouse HM-1411 stereo console came with a standard Voice of Music 1200-series changer fitted with a Sonotone 8T cartridge. It played fine until a couple months ago and the right channel went out. I'm guessing the cartridge is on its way out. Is there a suitable Sonotone...
