How do I replace the RCA Cable for my turntable.

How do I open the turntable base to replace the RCA Cable on my 1245? I have replaced connectors several times, and continue to have one channel or the other going dead periodically.

I have a turntable with a connect that has a double male (large size) connector but a Base which wants a single small male to fit the AUX input. Is there an adapter I can use?

I assume you mean that the turntable uses 2 RCA output jacks and the Bose shelf system has a 3.5 mm AUX input jack. Since you have the RCA audio cable, get a RCA F/F to 3.5 mm adapter. Here is a link to one: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=21319&rH=1601 . If you want to just have a single cable, RCA M/M to 3.5 mm M audio cables are available, http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=2706&rH=1095 . If you have 1/4" outputs on the turntable, you need to get a different adapter or use a combination. I don't know of many vendors for the 1/4" adapters these days.

I hope this helps.

I have sl-1200mk2, and the signal does not come in

The first thing to is try to eliminate the cartridge as a cause of the fault. You can do this by swapping the connections around on the cartridge. If you get the weakness still on the Red cable you know it is that. Solder joints do cause trouble, often the earth is the problem. Try resoldering the joints. Or replace the entire cable as there might be a break.

My rca output cord is cut...dothey sell a

Finding replacement parts for anything but technics seems to be difficult. However, if your familiar with soldering or have a friend who can, if you open these tables, you'll notice that the RCA cables are simply hard wired directly to the board inside the unit. You can take any RCA cable and solder it to the same posts if your careful when you strip your wires.

Audio connections

Unless you had your tonearm replaced previously, perhaps the technician did not route the cables correctly through the tonearm base. If so, then this would explain why it works after you raised the tonearm height.

If not, then consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to replace the tonearm. Often times, replacing the RCA cables correct the problem. However, if it does not, the next step is to replace the tonearm. And if neither works, your issue is with your cartridge or headshell (which you should have checked first). Or sometimes, the work was not done correctly when the RCA or Tonearm was replaced - so make sure you use a reputable service tech for this. If you are going to do this yourself, make sure you triple check your work.
