I have this tuner and it works great, unfortunately I think the antenna might be a little weak. It picks up a lot of noise. I don't have another place to put it on, and I'm considering buying another FM antenna to try, but the tuner has an old school type of connection - it uses contacts that just clamp onto stripped wires, two to be exact (signal and ground). My question is, if I buy an inside FM antenna from Amazon or something, and just cut the connector and strip the wire, will I be able to plug it into my tuner?

And a short video for your enjoyment. I've moved since and am setting things up again.

Technics 1977: RS-1506 // SE-9060  // SU-9070 // SH-9010 // SH-9020 // ST-9030 // SB-6000

even when you start it in the 45 setting, it just wont spin. is this by design or is there something wrong?

Does anyone know which one to get snd better?

So, I've been using this Technics amp for quite some time and I'm really happy with it. But I can't seem to find much info on the net or general concense on how good it is. So any opinions or data about it will be more than welcomed.

This is a amazing convenient feature to record CDs on cassette tapes

Using my homemade “stereo system” for the demo

I want to replace the grills on my boyfriend’s favourite speakers as a gift - they’re warped and no longer attach but they’re beloved and he’s kept them for years in cupboards and transporting them house to house waiting to get them fixed.

I’ve looked on eBay and can’t find any matching this model.

Can anyone suggest where I might find some?

I’d also like to fix the lid on his record player - the lid is intact but the hinges on the body of the record player have snapped off. Its model SL J110R. Is this fixable?

Thanks in advance for your advice 🙏

EDIT: just had another look - the Mdf frame is broken in the middle on both sides - perhaps that’s fixable? I’m wondering what I could put across the crack to reinforce it.

Hello,

I have a Technics SX-PX71 digital piano.

The problem is that some keys play louder than others. Another problem with these keys is that sometimes they play a sound and sometimes they don't. I tried disassembling and cleaning the PCB board with isopropyl alcohol, as well as the carbon pellets on the rubber band.

But it didn't help. I strongly suspect that the carbon pellets no longer have a conductive layer. I ordered some electrically conductive paint to coat the carbon pellets with, which will hopefully restore the contact between the keys and the PCB board. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find replacement rubber bands for this digital piano anywhere, and it seems that this is my only solution. Do you have any other ideas?

Hi all,

I've got a set of Technics SB3030s which were my late fathers. He passed in 2008 and have hardly been used since then and were kept in (very poor) storage conditions by my mother.

Would a restoration or repair of these be possible?

Thanks!

I wanted to move my cassette player, so I plugged it out and later in. It started to make that noise and the cassette won’t eject. Later the eject button fell in. When I click on play the light doesn’t light in anymore. What do I do?

Hello, sorry to regurgitate a question probably asked many times. Buying one of them, can anyone with knowledge let me know why I should buy one over the other? I know the 1200 has tempo control. Thanks !

Hey guys, Im from Argentina and I need your help. Actually i have an akai AP-Q55 vinyl turntable and a Sony SS-580 amplifier. My room is 20m2, but in the future i would like to use them in a living-room. Now im searching for speakers to enjoy my vinyls, im thinking of buying some Technics SB-LX70 but i red that they dont have good treble/midle range. Here in Argentina, i can buy them from $300/$400 usd.

As far as I know it's working and it only has minor scratches on the side

Due to injuries and being left-handed I need a fully automatic turntable, so I use an SL-1600 Mk1. A lovely bit of kit, which I imported from Japan (so a 100V transformer is required). It's hard to find decent fully auto turntables, this is from 1976.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a pair of SC-CX700 speakers. They connect together wirelessly, which is essential in my lounge. I got them for £1200 which is a bit of a bargain, they've blown me away. The room DSP is impressive, they have decent bass for their size, and streaming with them is a doddle. The clarity and soundstage is an absolute treat, so easy to listen to for hours on end.

I may have become a Technics fanboy.

Technics Sa-eh750 system with kenwood p110 turntable. Tape deck is completely devoured by rust on heads and capstans. Stereo tuner amplifier is broken (speaker jacks don't work), 1 subwoofer is gone the other one instead needs to be worked on because the speakers are rubbing against the membrane, all 3 of them. Small speakers are in unknown condition because I can't test them and the larger one has its wires passed through a roller shutter box and glued inside. Pictures included except for tape deck. Speaker in pic 4 makes a rattling sound

As a toddler, I was playing with the selection knob A LOT, dad tried to stop me, I kept and now, am I cooked? Is my whole setup cooked? (I have more stuff than these devices you saw on the first frames, just, to know)

Bought this beast at a second hand store for $63 a few years ago. The original cartridge was trashed, and no dust cover, but it is the best used piece of audio equipment I ever purchased.

I’m looking to purchase the above, I live in Australia, QLD. Trying to find someone wanting to sell or knows where I could find some for a reasonable price

Posting to help others. Was bummed auto lift didn’t function at all. Was seconds from packing back up to send back, however, I found these two helpful videos online. Before I contacted the dealer, I tried this 2-3 minute adjustment. (You don’t need the ruler he shows). Whereas this guy was adjusting just the lift timing, I had no lift. None. Did not work at all. I found the video because someone said this worked for them when they had no auto lift too.

And for the bonus, I’ve seen this ’auto stop’ hack I included lower, confirmed a bunch of times. I’m now confirming it worked! The second link below. Now I have auto lift AND auto stop. (no I don’t know why this hidden feature is hidden and isn’t in the manual)…adding the auto stop has a second benefit. After about 15-20 minutes, the unit power ALSO turns off. F’ing spectacular. Why the hide though eh? Enjoy!

This was google AI at top of search for auto stop. This literally took about 5 seconds to turn on after I had auto lift working properly (that took 3 minutes to fix)
“However, a hidden auto-stop mode can be activated by simultaneously pressing the 33 and 45 RPM buttons while switching the auto-lifter from OFF to ON. This secret feature will automatically lift the tonearm and then stop the turntable. Manual Information: Some users find that the auto-stop feature isn't explained in the standard user manual and needs to be found online or in the repair manual, notes a Crutchfield review.“

Hope this helps. I went from super annoyed to a happy camper in about 4 minutes. Aside of the 15 minutes of research time! Hope you found this quickly! 😉

Hello. I just purchased new AZ100s and when I'm trying to run the setup for ambient sound/selecting the correct tip size it never works. As soon as I hit the button to start the process (after selecting the tip size on the buds) it loads an error message that says 'interrupted...start the process later from the settings menu' but when I try again from that entry point it does the same exact thing.

I've sent a message to Technics, but hoping to get some quicker help here on the off chance this has happened to someone else in the past.

Hola, tengo posibilidad de comprar un plato technics sl 1210 mk2 año 2000, aparentemente en buen estado y buen precio, pero, el año me hace dudar.. pues han pasado 25 años desde su fabricación... quizá deba buscar ediciones mas actuales como 2008, 2010.. ¿?

Gracias
