The KAB external power supply for the Technics provides a regulated 34V DC that goes to the internal diode bridge. The deck's own regulator on the main circuit board drops that down to 21V. I decided to make a regulated 21V supply and bypass the internal reg completely.
I downloaded the circuit diagrams from the Technics forum at Vinyl Engine, and saw that it would be possible, by cutting a wire link, to attach the new supply without having to remove the circuit board. (Referring to the page showing the Drive Control PCB, I cut the vertical link near the top of the board, just left of the word 'Technics', and connected the 21V DC to the lower part of that wire. The earthing point is at the bottom corner of the board. The page from the manual shows the underside of the board, but of course when you remove the platter and the plastic cover you will be looking down at the board from above.
Connecting the new supply in this way disables the strobe light and the cueing light. I've never had much use for either of them, so that was fine by me. If you want to keep them, it's not too difficult to find a different way of connecting it up. (See below - Post no.10). My way of connecting also in effect eliminated a supply bypass cap C3, so I attached another one.
My first impressions are positive. Not a dramatic difference, but more spacious and with a quieter background.
