Technics SL1200MK2 repair help

[Gary Kaufman]

I have an unhealthy SL1200MK2 here that I'm working on - the motor isn't working.

Lights come on, platter spins freely, LED strobe seems to function normally when the platter is manually spun in both 33 and 45. I have a copy of the manual from the web and power supply voltages seem fine. Start/Stop Switch is fine.

I'm suspicious that the AN6675 (IC101) is faulty and have a replacement on order. I'd like to scope out the waveforms in the manual but I'm not sure of the best way. I understand that you shouldn't start the turntable with the platter removed. If so, what is the best way to scope the various waveforms?

Thanks in advance,

- Gary

Can't speak to your issues, but Kevin at KAB could probably walk you through it. He is very helpful and knowledgable about these tables.

I've ordered parts in the past from KAB with great service. I guess I feel a bit guilty bothering Kevin for "free repair advice".
