    Warning - Cleaning Technics SL-1300/1400 & 1500Mk2 front panel with IPA

    It's a very common problem for the push buttons on these series of tables to develop sticking with age. I was overly aggressive in cleaning out the brass bushings with IPA to remove the decades of sticky junk which would not allow the push buttons to move freely. The excess IPA got on the inside...

    Technics SL-1500c won’t turn on

    Hello group, I have a SL1500c that is not turning on. When I connect the power cable and press the On button, the 33 rpm blinks and fades off. Looking at the service manual I should have 25vdc between pin 3 and 5 of the SMPS pcb. When I connect it to the power outlet it show some voltage close...

    Technics Optical Sensor Circuit SL-1300Mk2

    After fighting the Optical Sensor Circuit in my SL-1300Mk2 for many days I have arrived at a solution that I believe makes the circuit much easier to adjust. In thinking about the only portion of the NAND gate IC501 (Gate 4) to serve a logic function in the Sensor Board I tried to determine the...

    Best bang-for-buck cartridge/stylus upgrade for Technics SL-QD2?

    Hi all, A couple of months ago, I received a hand-me-down Technics SL-QD2 in fantastic condition. This is my first experience with turntables. The table came to me with what I now know is a Shure MP94e cartridge with the N94E stylus, and I initially connected it directly to my Denon AVR-X3800H...

    Sansui FR-D3 vs Technics SL-B20

    I have these two turntables, and both are strong runners. I am trying to determine which is the better unit for my humble stereo setup (Hitachi HTA-35F amp/tuner and a set of PSB Passif II speakers). Does anyone here have an idea how they compare?

    Technics SL-1300Mk2

    Recently acquired this fantastic turntable in like new condition. However, as is the case with all of them the cue arm lever was broken. I was able to obtain a 3D printed replacement from https://i.materialise.com/en/shop/designer/sigurd-de-gruyter and was able to restore it.

    Technics SL-1300Mk2 Auto Return Problem

    I just replaced the infamous cue lift arm in my Technics SL-1300Mk2. All functions work correctly except for the “Auto Return”; the Auto Return Switch is in the correct position. Activating the “Stop” button causes the tone to lift and return to the home position and the motor shuts off. All...

    Red Technics SL-6 to Q6 conversion, is it possible?

    I recently bought a seemingly rare red Technics SL-6 from Japan. I don’t know much about the red variants(didn’t even know they existed until recently) other than they were perhaps only sold in Japan?? I have experience working on turntables and especially love the jacket-size Technics linear...

    Technics SL-1350 Rebuild Thread

    Ever since we put a new head shell in, hit play and the previously dormant unit started smelling hot after some play time the Technics SL-1350 has been hanging out in the basement waiting for review. It is time for a rebuild thread. I'll eventually push the docs to a git, just like the Sansui...

    Technics Turntables: Diamonds in the Rough?

    After owning and loving my mid 80's AR EB101 for over 30 years, I'm finding myself intrigued by the Technics direct drive turntables from the 70's and 80's. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to buy even a used SL 12 or 1500 as they appear to be going for four figures in working condition...

    Stylus help for repair projects

    I’ve been chipping away at my trash picked turntable projects this winter and just completed a Philips 212. I mounted an bare OM cart off another project and used a Pfanstiehl 541 stylus. Next in line is a Technics SL-7 with the Shure M92 cartridge and a JVC QL7 with a Shure HE200. Since they...

    In search of Technics SU-Z760 manual.

    It's a long shot but... I picked up an SU-Z760 with the matching CD, tape, and radio tuner, but I don't have the manuals and can't find them anywhere online. The closest I got was a link that sent me to "hifiengine," but its registration system is closed, and the thread is open to members only...

    Technics SL-1300G or something else?

    I am now seeking a more cart swap friendly turntable with adjustable VTA and detachable headshells. The 1300G is what I've kind of settled on. Is there anything else I should be considering in that price range with those features, new or used?

    On to my next Project: Technics SU-V8 with burning resistor and wrong voltages, I am still in the dark and need some help.

    The Situation: R655 starts smoking after a couple seconds R656 just seems to get hot. This started after stupid me tried connecting a step-up converter and a pwm fan to the output for the 6,3V lamp, which actually worked quite well for a couple of hours. Also on TP402 I measure 6V instead of the...

    Technics SB 8000 - some questions

    Hi, does the SB-8000 have any parts that are near impossible to get (unobtainium) when broken? There is one pair in my place on sale now so I'd better known this first. THanks. And one more question: Has anyone heard both the SB-8000 AND Diatone DS-2000? Or the Technics SB series AND the...
