    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 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...

    Technics SL 1600 MKII cue up and down problem
