I am in need of 2x technics turntable plastic covers. where could i find and how much each?

Hi, you need to remove the platter and then unscrew the under platter cover to access fuses. Cheers john, Stylus City

You'll have to flip your turntable upside down on a pillow or beanbag, remove the feet & all the screws including the harder plastic underside to get to the hinges where by which you can estimate whether there was wear & tear & needs replacing or whether it was a simple fix by just tightening up the screws that hold the hinges in place.

To adjust stopping speed you'll have to remove the plate by pulling it up. Then there is a plastic cover that has some screws, remove the screws and remove the plastic cover, you'll find a variable resistor that reads something like brake. Adjust it to the left or to the right with a screwdriver and see at which position works best.
To solve the constant speed problem you'll have to replace the pitch regulator.
Go to any panasonic/technics service and buy the pitch. If you have a bit of soldering skills you'll be able to replace it by yourself. You can access the pitch regulator unscrewing all the screws under the device and then removing the cover.
Hope you can solve the problem!

Faulty switch? If all else fails go inside! Often from the underside of the turntable and see what you can find.

Hi, What do you mean by this pls, you need a new top or how do you fix a broken one?

Thanks Mark H (superstar DJ)

There are 2 complete turntables up for auction on Ebay. One is at 4.99, and the other is at 9.99. Just do a search.

Hi Danny. Yes they have a fuse. Remove platter, remove plastic cover, main fuse is there

HI,, IF YOU HAVE EXPERINCES TO OPEN THE TURNTABLE PLS. DO..FIRST TAKE OFF THE PLATTER THEN THE 4 SCREW AROND THE PLASTIC COVER THEN CHECK THE TRANSISTOR Q3 AND Q2  AND ALSO THE ZENER DIODE D3...PLS. DOUBLE CHECK THIS COMPONENTS IF WE NEED TO REPLACE ..AA NEW REPLACE IT.. PLS. DOUBLE CHECK. U 

The Solution:
1. Firstly unplug the decks!!!
2. Remove the slipmatts and platter
3. Unscrew the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
4. Upon removing this circular plastic cover you will see a clear piece of plastic covering a circuit board, open it up. Now you will see a two fuses one clear and one stripey. 5. Remove the fuses (Gently poke it out with a pen/screwdriver or whatever) and examine it and see if either or both have infact blown.
6. Bring the suspect fuse/s to any electric/hardware/music type store (or search the net) and try to get a replacment but make sure its the same as the fuse you removed!!!. A T250 mA fuse(clear) an a T1A Fuse (stripey) are stated in the Technics user manual.
7. Now get the new fuse and gently snap it back in to the silver holders.
8. Replace the clear plastic circuit board cover.
9. Screw back the the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
10. Replace the Platter and slipmats
11. Turn them on and spin away
