This is a video showing you how you can service / repair the power switch on a Technics 1200/1210 MKII. They very rarely go wrong but stranger thing have happened so heres a video that might be able to help you.

WARNING ALWAYS UNPLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE OPENING YOUR TURNTABLE.

This is a video showing you how you can service / repair the power switch on a Technics 1200/1210 MKII. They very rarely go wrong but stranger thing have happened so heres a video that might be able to help you.

Problems you may runinto.

If the shaft is stuck and you cant get it out use a pair of pliers (like the ones shown in the video) and carefully pull it out if it still wont budge use a tiny dab of olive oil to try and free it, but not to much olive oil.

INFORMATION.

If you put too much grease in the shaft when you put the shaft back into the cylinder some excess will crape off and could go inside the led strobe assembly if it does use a cotton bud and try to get it out, if any gets onto the thin plastic diffuser in front of the leds it will cast a shadow

WARNINGS.

Be careful net to stab your thumb or fingers with the screw driver when getting the ring clip off, and always push the screw driver away from you not towards you

Do not use copper grease on the shaft or any other part of the turntable. Lm (lo melt) grease will be fine.

Never turn the turntable upside down without any type of cushion under underneath it you could damage the tone arm, and be careful if youre using the turntable dust cover to support the turntable whilst its upside down the plastic they are made from is very brittle.

Use masking tape to help get the ball bearing back in place not sello tape or parcel tape its to flimsy and to sticky and you will find it a lot harder than masking tape.

    Thank you, I have …
    Thank you, I have been looking for this kind of video for almost a year! My power switch turns on/off normally, but it doesn’t make the turntables power go off, so it’s always on. Btw. do you know if it does even matter that much since there’s like only one led on when I’m not using it. Not much electricity consumption there, right?
