Re: I have two technics turntables that aren't outputting...
Old decks have BAD RCA connectors. I would start there first. Its easy to solder them in... but you have to take the decks apart. As well as look at the leads that run through the tone arm down into the decks.

The signal output from the turntable is very low and needs a special input which most modern sound systems no longer have.
You will need to connect your turntable to a preamplifier.
The output from this preamplifier then goes to the auxiliary input ("AUX") of your sound system.
A good starting page to look around for a turntable preamplifier is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/21PCGJR9SBLQP
Good luck!
Hi, most likely the cartridge is shot. If you have a second cart try that on the unit and see if it makes a difference. Other possible causes are the stylus tip is damaged on one side or the output cable or rca connections may be loose. Cheers John. Styluscity,com
We need to know exactly what you have for electronics to give a specific answer.
Old-school turntables don't connect directly to speakers. It will require a PHONO preamplifier either integrated into a receiver or stand-alone and external to boost and frequency-balance the minute RIAA output signal produced by the phono cartridge.
Double check all your cables. The only 2 things that affect sound on the 1200s is the RCA cables and the tonearm. I would first replace the RCA cables to a better quality set.
Make sure you connected the turntable to the PHONO INPUT of your Vestax Mixer. If so, then the problem might be with your mixer output, or your sound system. You will need to test each unit individually to determine what the issue might be.

1. Assuming there is no problem with your amplifier of input cable, the headshell/tone-arm needs rewiring. This is very thin flexible wire and not easy to do, but can be done if you are careful.
2. Turntables require a special input on your amplifier which has a frequency response that is suitable for them. If you connect a turntable to an ordinary input, it will sound tinny. If you don't have a turntable input (known as a phono input [from phonograph]) you will need to use a preamplifier with your turntable.
