Technics 1200 Mk 2, motor off button ?
Posted on: 06.01.2012 by Nereida Jasnoch
So I met this guy who can give a GREAT deal on 2 Technics 1200 Mk 2, he hasn't used them the last 2 years, doesn't have space for em and he had them upgraded and they replaced all the cables and stuff. He is sort off a friend so the price will be low as hell.

But I was wondering do these technics have a motor off button because that is a feature I love to use on my current TTs ??

If not do other technics models have one ?

If not can they be modded to have this feature ?

This can be used as an effect when you cut the power and it sounds like the record is dying as opposed to just hitting stop.

But applying pressure on the side of the platter sounds like it could work, but I 's gonna be hard to make the platter slow down at same rate continiously.

But still it's a damn shame that this is not possible. It sounds very cool and it's so handy.
Xone said it.... You're talking about turning the power off. That whole effect came from people actually doing it as a transition. You turn the power off, the record keeps moving and you slow it with your hand... so the answer to your question is yes.

Osvaldo Newhall
06.01.2012		To turn the motor off, then press the START/STOP button. To make the platter spin again, press the START/STOP button. To turn on/off the unit, switch the knob.

Simple as that.

Also, simply turning the deck off while it is playing and using your finger on the side of the platter is a fun way to manually control brake speed.
