    Technics Stereo Cassette Desk 615 Troubleshoot

    Hey Guys, Thanks for accepting me into the community. I picked up one of these cassette players for pretty cheap on eBay, and it worked for a few months. I just moved, and when I plugged it back in, the left speaker level meter went wild, creating a distinct ringing. I'm new to all this stuff...

    Where around upstate NY to get R2R serviced?

    Hello - I am writing to ask where, if any, are the places to get a R2R deck serviced in upstate NY (I live near Syracuse), or even the closest ones if none exist around here. We do have one place locally but I’ve taken a few pieces there recently and the work has been less than optimal. Any...

    Harman Kardon Citation Eleven and Twelve

    I rescued a Harmon Kardon Citation Eleven pre-amp and Citation Twelve amp from a basement in Massachusetts. After a thorough surface cleaning, a few blasts of canned air and some De-Oxit attention, I have a functional, and quite loud, system up-and-running. I have my Technics SL-1100A running...

    Looking for suggestions on an auto or semi-auto turntable

    I'm looking to upgrade a second system for my kitchen. My main system is running a Thorens TD 160, which is fully manual and I love it. I had a Dual 1257 for my second system, which was "ok", but the auto function stopped working. Well, it didn't stop completely. It pretty much drops the...

    Replace STKs with rcs16's Design - Technics SA-300

    Hi All, I'm pretty sure I need to replace both STK-0039s in a beautiful SA-300 I recently acquired. All I get is buzzing on headphones or speakers, but the audio from the tape out sounds great. I started to suspect the STKs and sure enough the voltages on several of the pins appear to...

    Technics SL-1200G/GAE Voltage Compatibility

    I am curious as to the voltage/frequency compatibility of the new Technics SL-1200G/GAE turntables. In other words, can a model sold in the UK also work in the US? It would seem with a switching power supply that it may be possible to simply change the power cable or connector. Does anyone...

    Technics SH-9010 Equalizer Recap—a few questions

    Recently I acquired a Technics SH-9010 parametric equalizer to help compensate for the low frequency loss in my open baffle speakers. This 1978 EQ is in quite good shape. It was advertised as "serviced", which seems to have been done well, but was limited to cleaning and de-oxidizing switches...

    Hello music experts! I've recently bought a Technics SL-V5 via via. The sound quality is super nice since the turntable has a new needle. But something is wrong with the tonearm retraction. Sometimes (randomly) the tonearm will move to quick to center so the needle will jump from grove to...
