    Technics SL-P999 remote control problem

    I recently acquired a Technics SL-P999, without a remote, which appears to work perfectly. I was hoping to control it with my Logitech Harmony remote, but after configuring that, the player does not respond to it. I've also tried a Technics remote (EUR643900) from a more recent player, and...

    Distortion/sibilance issue with Technics SL-QD33

    Hi all! New to the forum here. I recently purchased a newly recapped and recalibrated SL-QD33 off of eBay. It works and sounds great, except that it's had an ongoing issue with sibilance and slight distortion that's just bad enough at times to distract from the listening experience. I've...

    BP but not C? Technics SA-EX510

    I know a lot of people don't care for the BPC-era stuff but I saw a post a while back about how great some of black HT receivers were and found myself nodding. Extending that, I have a 1996(?) Technics SA-EX510 and it sounds great. It is not as heavy as the old class A receivers (it is a "class...

    Technics SL-D3 speed issue- slightly fast

    Hello all, My TT has been rock solid for a long time. Tonight however the speed was off. I tried adjusting the pitch dial, but even when turned all the way right(?) it’s still a little too fast and the strobe is walking slowly to the left. It stays locked in at this speed, but it’s too fast...

    technics sl 1200 mk2 strobe light dim

    I have a sl 1200 mk2 with a very dim strobe light. I was wondering if I should replace the lights themselves or if I'd be better of doing a recap first. I can't really find much online about replacing the strobe lights on the sl 1200, what kind of neon bulbs should I get?

    Technics SL-D2 Dust Cover Compatibility

    Hi all -- Girlfriend's dad has a beloved SL-D2 with a dust cover that needs replacement. He's keen on a hinged cover instead of a set-on, so I've been trying to source a used and/or broken D2 to harvest the dust cover (and, hoping against hope, an interesting cartridge) for him as a surprise...
