SOURCE: technics skipping
hi fletch83. this could be the tone arm bearings too tight,damaged or in need of a little oil. i had a similar problem on my 1210, it kept jumping all the time,ruining my mixes! it turned out it was the bearings too tight. unscrew the counter weight so that the arm hovers over the platter and move it to the centre with anti-skate on zero. slowly turn the anti-skate round to three and the arm should move over to the arm rest smoothly,if it stops before the arm rest or isnt smooth theres your problem,loosen the bearing adjuster slightly and try the hover routine again until its as smooth as you can get it. it is possible,if the turntable has been transported without dust covers the bearings or the pin could be slightly damaged from knocks on the top of the tone arm assembly. let me know how you get on or if you need any more help. darren

Check that your voltage settings are set correctly. This is located
underneath your turntable platter. If you remove the slipmat, you will
see 2 holes on the metal platter. Rotate the platter till you see the
voltage switch, located @ the 9'o'clock position. Make sure it's set to
your correct settings (N.America = 115V / Euro = 220V). If not, you
will need a flat head screw driver to switch it. Before you switch it,
make sure your unit is off and unplugged. After you swich it, it should
be ok.
If your still having issues with the speed and the pop-up
light, then there is something seriously wrong, and will need to be
checked by a technician. Sometimes a resistor or IC will go bad,
causing the speed issue, but for the pop-up light - that's usually
faulty wiring generally caused by an incorrect replacement.
Did you buy this new or used? Have you had this serviced recently?

Sounds like your pitch control is about to go bad. I would suggest replacing it. The part can be purchased HERE.

Must have been dropped. The only cure is a new top chassis.

Hi, simply unscrew counter weight off tonearm and refit the correct way around. [email protected]

unscrew the counter weight so that the arm hovers over the platter and move it to the centre with anti-skate on zero.
slowly turn the anti-skate round to three and the arm should move over to the arm rest smoothly,if it stops before the arm rest or isnt smooth theres your problem,loosen the bearing adjuster slightly and try the hover routine again until its as smooth as you can get it. it is possible,if the turntable has been transported without dust covers the bearings or the pin could be slightly damaged from knocks on the top of the tone arm assembly.
let me know how you get on or if you need any more help.
