External PSU for the SL1200G

[tom]

Hello

I have a Paul Hynes SR 7 12v power supply I would like to use with my 1200G. Looking for info as to how I might go about such a modification. :)

It looks far more complicated than the older generations. This is for the Precision Sound Labs version. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0152/7532/7552/files/Istruzioni_EPS_G_edition_compresse.pdf?122

thanks for that. I had seen a video they do for the install of their PSU. Their one is an internal unit which replaces the technics board. The PSU I have is all external - looking for a method to connect12v to the Technics board in a similar fashion (i think) to the obsolete Time step PSU.

Does the technics work on 12V?

[tom]

not sure - this is what I need to find out. Most TT run on 12v. The funk firm PSU is 12v.

Smoothie is also available in 24V for Technics decks, thus removing the on-board transformers and associated field.

Are you sure? ;)

I thought it was 21v when I did my 1210 years ago

Edit: just checked a photo of my Paul Hynes psu for the 1210 and it was definitely 21v as written on the label. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230228/345cd97fd6acff6515ac9e5654458cd8.jpg

Well hopefully someone can tell me for sure :)

Thank you Mikeyb, do you think the newer 1200G is the same voltage?

[CageyH]

I know the old PSU is 21V, but I could not tell you what the G needs.

There are external PSUs available for the 1200G/GR/GAE models so might be easier to buy a dedicated one and sell the Paul Hynes to help pay for it.

Check my old thread out there may be some photos on there of the internal mods of the deck. Again done years ago!!!

[CageyH]

Relevant to a newer 1200G?

[Wakefield Turntables]

Ah no! My bad.

Thanks for the replies.
