Issue with brand new Technics SL-1200 MK2
Posted on: 09.01.2013 by Parthenia Cetrone
Hey guys, having an issue with the way this brand new deck is turning. It seems that the big dots are not staying still as they should when the table is turning. This causing all the vinyl to sound warped on both 33' and 45'. I posted a video to show you what i mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you are probably right! I forgot MK2s have that center detent where the lock automatically engages.

Yes it's at 0% when it behaves like that, never seen it myself in 12 years of owning 1200's. It was acting like this right out of the box from day one.

09.01.2013		Aw man thanks I was hoping it was something else. Brand new table as well, looks like it needs to be returned.
