    Technics SL-1300 very quiet left channel

    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...

    Technics SL-1300 internal power switch fix

    My Technics SL-1300 stopped switching off recently. Basically, the tone arm would return to the rest, but the strobe light would stay on and platter would continue spinning. I had to unplug the unit to turn it off. After some research, I suspected the grease on the mechanical parts had hardened...

    Technics SL-1300 - missing nodule for counterweight threading

    Usually, a standard S arm has a tiny plate fitted at it's end featuring a protruding nodule that catches the spiral groove inside a counterweight. This facilitates the linear motion of the counterweight as it's rotated either clockwise or anti-clockwise. However, I have two Technics SL-1300 arms...

    Determining replacement VR's for Technics SL-150/ SL-1500/ SL-1300

    I'm looking to replace the Variable Resistors on the control board of a Technics SL-1500, which is the same as that in the SL-150 and SL-1300. VRs 1 and 2 are the ones that really need replacing but I thought I would do the same for 3 and 4 given their age and that I would remove them from the...

    Technics SL-1300 auto-start drop zone...is the adjustment supposed to do this?

    My table developed a fault where the tonearm has starting dropping before it gets to the beginning of the record. Looking at the manual I found the appropriate adjustment and was curious as to its operation. First of all I was expecting the screw to be directly under the access. 2nd, when I went...

    SL-1300 very low output level

    Hi all, Just acquired a Technics SL-1300 by chance, and aside from the automatic stuff being kind of crazy (tone arm goes to almost dead center of record, then skates outwards really fast, re-homes and is generally crazy...), the real problem at hand is that the output off the turntable is...

    Sansui AU-999 phono input is extremely quiet. What's wrong?

    Hello, I picked up an AU-999 / TU-99 pair at an Estate Sale this summer. I've paired these with my existing Technics SL-1300 turntable, which worked fine with my previous receiver from the '90s. The Tuner sounds great. The auxiliary input sounds great from my an old iPod. The problem is that...
