Major Tom to Ground Control!

[Frankyc2003]

Hi everyone,

just a very quick question.

If I install a new tonearm on a Technics SL1210 (liek a Jelco, or a SME).
What happens to the ground wire connected to the pitch slider PCB? Does it stay? or does it go!

Cheers for all your illuminating input!

Best regards:cool:

Are you talking about the ground wire from the original technics arm?

[Frankyc2003]

Yes that thin black one that also connects to the tonearm wire pcb in the original Tec arm mount.

I connected mine to one of the nuts underneath the soundhifi mounting plate , no problems with hum !
