Having some trouble with one of my decks... anyone here a hardware guru?
I have a pair of Technics SL-1200 MKIIs. I am having issues with the right channel on one of the decks. There is an intermittant loss of volume and fuzziness in the right channel. A record will be playing, and periodically the audio in the right channel sounds fuzzy and loses most of its output.
I cleaned the stylus with the stylus brush. I then re-calibrated & reset the counterweight and anti-skate. I swapped the stylus out for a spare. Still no dice, so I cleaned the 4-pin connector in the tonearm and back of the headshell. Still not fixed, so I swapped out the entire headshell.
That seems to rule out the stylus, calibration, and headshell. I am wondering could it be the tonearm wiring or tonearm assembly? How would I check / fix that? Unfortunately I don't have a soldering iron or soldering experience.
