Technics RCA's

VinylJunkie

Hi

Im looking to replace the RCA's on my technics 1210's mk2. Im not to worried about doing the job myself as ive done other mods to them its just selecting the best cables.

Has anyone any suggestions? I was looking at these on e-bay!

Yep, same problem here. I ordered a similar kit off ebay which arrived last week, it comes with instructions on how to do the job, haven't done it yet, looks complicated enough

I just did this the other night with the help of a friend,the RCA leads needed replacing after 15 odd years lol,i just bought a decent high quality phono to phono cable in petes and split it in 2 - job done.

When you have it open be careful when removing old solder and soldering new ones as the solder points on the PCB are pretty close to the tiny solder points of the feeds coming from the toner arm!!

Cheers lad My problem is with the soldering as my hands shake badly when doing stuff like that but a mate said he'd do the soldering for me so it's grand. It'll be good to have the decks back in action again.
