    Technics sl 1200 mk 2 makes high pitched noise every 1.5 hours?

    I am working on a sl 1200 mk 2 for someone and they claim that it periodically make a high pitched noise every 1.5 hours or so. I have been listening to it for about 2 hours now and can't seem to recreate it. Nor can I really think of a way that would happen in the first place. I assume it's the...

    SL-1200 MK1 Woes (Negative Voltage at TR-14 collector)

    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...

    Jelco TK-850s tonearm on my SL-1200MK5 (w/ audio samples)

    Hi there! :) I thought it was time for me to install a Jelco TK-850s tonearm on my SL-1200MK5. The superseded tonearm was a KAB modded and rewired Technics tonearm, so it wasn't in its original form. The armboard chosen is sold by Ammonite Audio, as well as the improved mounting collar. It's...

    How to Setup a Technics SL-1200 Turntable

    I replaced my Shure M44-7s with a new pair of Audio-Technica AT-XP7s this week, and they sound absolutely amazing. While setting-up my SL-1200s for the new cartridges, I decided to put together a quick, informative video.

    Turntable upgrade advice sought

    Hello, A little while ago I got back into vinyl after a 40 year hiatus. Wasn't sure if I'd stick with it so invested modestly in a new Audio Technica AT-LP120 turntable. I also bought an early '80's Sony ES amp that was in near perfect condition after a few squirts of deoxit in the pots. I...

    So, I'm a bit stuck on my next upgrade move, and looking for advice. My current setup is a Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable with a Grado Gold1 cartridge with its standard gold stylus. The Technics arm is stock, and the headshell is plastic (but I have an aluminum replacement on the way.) The...
