    just got a technics 1200 mk2 off ebay......hooked up to my sansui amp - it worked but the left channel wasn't coming in. there's nothing wrong with the amp as my other turntable, cd, tape deck all work. i jiggled the technics rca cord and now i don't get any sound at all. so i'm guessing i got a bad rca cord??? is it something i could replace myself???

    i just bought a used technic 1200 mk2 and it appears to work. you can still hear the dim sound off the record directly..and my phono connection from my amp to my speakers isnt the problem. i have no idea how to go about diagnosing or fixing the problem. any suggestions or anyone know what it could possibly be?

    Unplug the turntable from your amplifier and plug another unit into the phono input on your amp just to make sure the input works.



    Have you tried a new cartridge?



    Have you checked the connections in the headshell?



    Are you sure your amplifier is switching correctly?

It's more than likely your tonearm or your RCA cables. Does the sound come in at all? Try wiggling the RCA cables. If no sound whatsoever, then more than likely it's your tonearm, and will need to be replaced.

Tonearms for this model are available HERE, however, I don't recommend trying to replace this yourself, as it is rather complicated, and you could cause more damage to the unit.

Try plugging it into a different power point. The problem is with the power supply fluctuating. You can eliminate that with a UPS, here is a link to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

Technics 1200, no sound out right speaker
And it will be. I can almost steak my life on it. Easy to replace. Most djs had to already. Most off us went to Radio Shack and bought the 6 foot gold RCA's and cut them in half for both decks. Its not that hard to do. Any problems message me.

No sound out of deck
If you've already replaced the RCA /Phono cables, then the only other item that would cause this kind of problem is your tonearm, and it will need to be replaced.

Technic 1200 mk2 turntable wont spin
need to know if it powers up. Does it try to spin, do you hear it trying to spin? More than likely the on/off switch went bad. No, I am not referring to the ON/OFF knob. THere is a switch this engages when turned. The part is S601. You might also want to replace the Start/Stop switch as well. If neither work, then the issue is on the main PC board, and probably IC101, or IC201 with the problem. At this stage, you will have to have a service tech look at your unit.

Rubbing noise on technics 1200 mk2 coming from spindle? I recently was re-calibrating the pitch on my turntable but when I put the platter back on I noticed a slight rubbing noise coming from the spindle it is not really affecting the turn table but I don't want to be causing more damage by ignoring the problem does anyone know what this might be and is it cause for concern? I have swapped platters with my other turntable and noise is still there so it's not the platter. I have checked for debris in the moving area of the turntable and have not found anything. I am nearly sure it only started when I put the platter back on any thoughts would be much appreciated.
