Thanks for the generous offer. I've a ordered a spare pcb off eBay just in case;) will have a good look around the pcbs tonight before curry ;) oh well I suppose I'll have to have another with the cd player :rolleyes:

just switched the TT on and it still works and nothing else has blown up :lol: These new mods are ace, my platter spins the wrong way around now :lol: (i'm not taking the pi$$ Paul, just out of myself ;)) Right off for curry and the 1210 can sulk in the corner for another few days. :cool:
At last you'll be able to hear what John Lennon really said...Quote:

Leo,
thanks for the support mate, I just put this experience down to one of those things. I have a new pcb coming so i'm gonna have another go :D I think to be honest it was shit soldering technique which blow the board. Never mind. If I blow the second one I'm giving up and buying a new CD player and switching to digital. :rfl:
Wow... I admire the way you can laugh these things off. If that'd been me, I'd have been near suicidal! That's why I only let experts anywhere near my T/T!! :exactly:
Marco.
Whilst the 1210 is my pride and joy its still only an inanimate object. I was really pissed when the board blew because I managed to get another decent haul of vinyl. I have about 30 albums propped up against my wall waiting for a spin :doh: I really must get my 301 fully sorted so that I have a 2nd TT when problems like this occur on my 1210. :eyebrows:
Like your 'It aint life or death' attitude Andrew (Have had to exercise that one a few times trust me, when my daughter spilled nail varnish all over my brown leather recliner comes to mind). With regard to the soldering - I learned that one myself recently whilst fitting my new psu. The Techie struggles to start, red on light flickers away etc. Found out it is due to my blobby soldering joins which in effect cause voltage drop etc so I'm gonna have to undo that and solder in a neater and tidier fashion :rolleyes: Soldering is one of those things that is easy to do but harder to do right :eyebrows:
Your a brave man tackling the 'regs mod' cause that one looks like a bridge too far for me and would be handed out to someone who knows the job.
Well! Whilst I'm for the PCB for the 121090 I think I may have secured a Thorens TD150 for peanuts so this could be a little side project. :eyebrows:
Meanwhile Andrew, what news of the regs and checking their voltages? You can be doing that while waiting for the replacement board. In fact, you MUST before you risk blowing another one.
You should be able to test for the +21V, +9.4V and +5V outputs easily enough. I used the '+' sign deliberately so that you double-check polarity too.
