    Technics SL-1300 very quiet left channel

    Good evening everyone, I recently picked-up a used Technics SL-1300. After cleaning it up a bit and fixing some speed issues, the thing was running smoothly. Until after about a week of listening the left channel went pop-crack-crunch and was completely gone. After some jiggling and...

    A couple of Technics SU-V8

    Hi all, I have been listening music so far using a Naim NAIT 5i with Dali Oberon 7 speakers, but found this combination to be lacking in the low end so went on a quest to find a "new" amplifier which would hopefully be able to drive the speakers better. Due to the environment I have been raised...

    Re-capping Technics SL-Q3 question

    Good Afternoon! I've recently acquired a Technics SL-Q3 and I want to replace the capacitors because it would be a fun project and for peace of mind. According to the schematics, C205 is showing it should be 10uf 16v but I found on C205 on the board is 220uf 6.3v, which is odd because every...

    What is the best hi-fi tuner ever made?

    I drive a Technics ST-X901L, with an indoor cable antenna and, well, it sounds good. But surely there will be better ones, of higher quality. What are they? Another question, does it make sense to go from the ST-X901L to the ST-X999L. Thank you for your attention.

    Technics SL-1300MK2 Transport Screws

    Does anyone know the size of the transport screws for the SL-1300MK2? I found threads on here describing transport screw sizes for the SL-1600MK2, but not this one. I want to use the transport screws to bypass the shot suspension until I can repair it. Any help would be appreciated
