    Technics sl-1610 mk2

    I picked up this technics SL-1610mk2 for a song. The platter wouldn’t start. Took it apart to inspect and found the tone arm belt missing. I replaced the belt and once it put the tone arm mechanisms back where it wanted it, the platter started turning and everything came to life. So it’s a...

    Technics SU-V500 recap question

    Hi, In my Technics SU-V500 amplifier, the old electrolytic capacitors leaked. I wanted to ask if you recommend a specific capacitor model that I can replace them with or a specific manufacturer, e.g. Nichicon. Is it worth replacing the capacitors with ones with a higher capacity or voltage...

    Technics SL 1400 MKII plastic Part needed.

    Picked apart my Technics SL 1400 MKII to see which plastic cam my turntable has for the cuing mechanism so I can order the 3D part from Shapeway to finally fix the cuing issue. My hands are shaky and I don't want to use the deck without cuing. Took the cam out and turns out I have the variant...

    what grease to use on the Technics SL-1950 auto return system?

    after my first post, I ended up getting an Audio Technica AT-VM95C cartridge I was testing it and when it reached the end of the record instead of lifting and returning it just returns scratching across the whole record. I was wondering if Liuthum grease would work on it. I also have not opened...

    Technics SL-1710 Audio/Platter Issues

    Hey everyone, I picked up an SL-1710 on ebay a while ago and it was all good until recently when I was having issues with the left channel. It would drop out to a staticky-crackly low volume and I could hear it going in and out when I played with the RCA cables so I went ahead and soldered in a...

    Dead tape deck

    Hi again After successfully reanimating my old Technics tape deck I figured I'd try and do the same thing for my dad's RS-X902. The original problem was that the device would randomly stop playback or turn the tape, apparently thinking it had reached the end. So I went and replaced all the...

    Buttons do the wrong thing (Technics RS-T330R)

    Hi! I'm trying to resurrect my old Technics RS-T330R tape deck. It seems to work quite well (I had to replace a little gear) but somehow it seems to misinterpret some of my button presses. The easiest way to trigger this is to just hit "Stop" a few times, at some point it will start rewinding...

    Wonky Pitch control on Technics 1200 MKII

    On one of my Technics MKIIs the Pitch is doing strange magic. At the center position it is at 0 but regardless of weather I move the fader up or down it only increases the pitch by 8%. No decrease. Anyone know if I can fix this without replacing?
