Hi everyone.
I've been reading lots of posts on here, so I thought it was about time I joined.
I've just bought a Technics SL1210 Mk2, and I'm about to start the modification process :)
I got a great bargain on Ebay, £325 and it's literally like new !, it was owned by an older guy, and just had very occasional hifi use, never DJ'd.
I've already ordered most of the tune up parts, so far I've ordered (from MCRU); Power supply, Isonoe feet, Achromat mat, and from KAB; Tone Arm Damper, tone arm cable and interconnect cable,
I did think about going down the Jelco arm route, but decided on the Kab route instead.
The only thing I havnt decided on is which bearing to buy.
I know it's a nice idea to do one upgrade at a time but I'm doing it all in one go :)
I'll keep you all informed as to how it goes. I do have some experience, I've rewired a tone arm on a previously owned 1210.
My other hifi kit includes a Rega Brio R Integrated, Rega RS1 speakers, 2 Mordaunt Short Carnival subs ( I intend to change to one better quality sub soon), and an LFD MMO phone stage.
(I used to work for LFD back in the 90's by the way).
Thanks guys :):)
