    Convert a 1981 Japanese Sl-1200 mk2 (100v) to USA (120v) ?

    I was perusing the forum threads on using a Technics SL-1200 Mk2 Japanese 100v on 120v USA voltage and read a lot about using a step down transformer. I would not like to use an external transformer and hoping for a sleeker workaround. My real curiosity and questions here are; 1. Would...

    Reloop platter on Technics 1200mk2

    Howdy guys and happy new year! Long shot here... I have come across a few old 1200mk2's. Currently restoring them, 2 to keep and 2 to sell. The worst bit on all 4 are the platters, beyond restoring due to bad oxidation. Magnets are fine. I have purchased two OEM for the ones for sale but I just...

    Technics 1210 mKII Grounding

    Hi all, First threat here. I've recently purchased a second hand 1210 mKII and took it apart to repaint it (the original owner had poor taste). During the dismantling, I noticed that there was no ground wire coming out of the tonearm with the RCA cables. After taking it apart, I noticed the...

    SL1200mk2 - New Cartridge or Fluid Damper?

    Hello everyone, I found a used SL1200mk2 for a buddy of mine and I’m trying to get it to a useable place before I send it to him. It came with a Concorde pro S on it, which I’m assuming isn’t much worth using especially with mystery hours. I have a Grado Gold 3 with some life left, but I’ve...

    Technics 1200 MK2 - AT VM540ML vs AT33PTG/2?

    New to me late 90's Technics 1200 MK2 all stock including headshell. No KAB dampening well (at least yet). Did the research and ordered a VM 540ML but wondering if the AT33PTG/2 is worth the 2X price of the 540 with this table/arm? I have no issues supporting the capacitance on either cart or...

    Technics 1200 mk2 captive cable replacement

    I jumped on the bandwagon a while ago and got myself a 1200SL mk2. I'm quite happy with it. It was gently used and I have refurbished it with everything available from KAB except the arm damper. With the upgraded tonearm wires, replacement thrust bearing, wax kit, and external power supply, this...

    Technics SL-1200 Mk2 slowing down during playback

    Posted on another forum I havent had any bites yet so posting here... Kinda freaked me out and wondering what I should do to make sure it doesn't happen again. I pressed the start/stop button and it rectified itself. However this must mean something so what should I check or replace? Works...

    Technics SL1200 mk2 w/ Ortofon Bronze cart

    Hey all! I have a chance to buy a technics SL1200 mk2 w/ a Ortofon Bronze cartridge as my first nice turntable for listening purposes. It has not been used to DJ. The price is $450. Looking for opinions on the turntable and combo and whether or not it’s a fair deal.

    Technics 1200 mk2 feet/foot .. WASHERS

    A while back I upgraded my Technics 1200 mk2 feet to Isonoe's. Now that I am booking more turntablists and starting to get into it myself, there is a realisation that these are only good for mixing and not for scratching. I looked at the new aftermarket foot options and there are MANY. So for...
