    Technics SA-160, power transformer output too high

    I'm in the process of bringing back to life a SA-160 only to help me improve my electronic skills. I think I'm pretty close to get it back to life (link to the main thread), but I'm worried about voltage too high from the power source circuit: Indeed, I'm getting -43 and +43V instead of -35.5...

    I got my hands on an SL-10 but unfortunately, it came without its original 310MC cartridge. Is the PC-3MC a good/compatible replacement cartridge?

    I need to change my cartridge.

    Hello everybody, It's my first thread here. Today my pickering stylus broke. I have a V-15 Micro cartidge. I was thinking changing everything but not spend too much money (the situation with taxes here in Argentina is obscene). Well, I saw the Ortofon Omega and the Shure E92. Specs: Technics...

    My first attempt at speaker repair, need help!

    Hi AK, I'm trying to learn a little bit more about speakers and how to repair them, so as a first project I've picked up some Technics SB-K22's that need some love. I'm sure these speakers aren't really worth fixing, but just doing this as a learning exercise. Before we get in, I am an audio...

    Technics 1210GR - Too Much Turntable?

    I’m looking to upgrade my turntable. Is a Technics 1210GR too much TT for my system? Meaning, will it be dragged down by my other components, or would I be better with the lesser SL1200 mk7? If I went with the GR, what other component should I upgrade soonest to match the level of performance of...

    Technics SL-1350 Speed problem

    A friend dropped off his Technics SL-1350 because it runs slow only when set to 33. It runs fine at 45. I've worked on many Technics before and know to clean both sets of speed pots and the speed change switch. Now it runs at a maximum of 26 rpm when set to 33. As I said, 45 runs at 45. I don't...

    How do you pronounce "Technics"?

    A small poll about how to pronounce the former top-range Matsushita's brand. A short key to the candidates of this election: /ɪ/ is short, /iː/ is long (in fact, colon means long vowel). The apostrophe identifies the syllable under stress. So, /ˈtɛknɪks/ — stress of the first syllable...

    ISO Technics SL-235 Spindle

    First time poster here. I've recently found my father's old Technics SL-235 TT. I've replaced the belt and it seems to be running relatively well but I can't be sure because I don't have one of the proper spindles. From the research I've done, it seems like the non-stacking spindle was used on...

    Hey guys, I have a Technics SU-8600 on the bench and am hoping for some help with it.

    Help with Technics SL-Q6 programming feature

    I received a Technics SL-Q6 from eBay listed AS IS/BROKEN recently, when the only listed issue was a broken stylus. The tone arm was confirmed to work and the platter spun, so I figured it probably just needed a new cartridge/stylus. I bought it for $60, and the seller was nice enough to package...
