    Technics 1600 mkII pitch control is inconsistent, unresponsive to cleaning

    I have a Technics 1600 mk II that is in very good condition, except for a strange issue with the pitch control wheel. When the wheel is centered, the pitch is rock solid at 33.3 rpm. Also, when I decrease the pitch, the red pitch indicator lights and strobe seem to match consistently...

    Technics 1600MK2 issue: Tonearm moves to center and won't drop

    I recently picked up a Technics 1600mk2 for a good price off of Facebook marketplace. The owner said it wasn't working, but I figured usually they just need a new cuing belt and some Deoxit in the speed adjustment pot. When I first tested it and pressed the start button, it sounded like to...

    Hi folks, I just picked up a 1600 mkii the other day. Sounds fantastic, runs great, auto features function beautifully. It’s basically my dream table. I’m curious, however, if something in it is generating an inordinate amount of heat. After it’s on for an hour or so the plinth gets rather...

    Technics SL-1600MK2 Issues

    Short story: Platter spins with tonearm at rest, platter stops when tonearm is moved to play a record. Automatic functions do nothing. When dead cold (unplugged for a few days), turntable might work normally on occasion for a minute or two. Most of the time, platter begins spinning as soon...

But the only problem now is with the cueing button and lever. When i push the button or lift the lever, the tonearm doesn't stays up...
