Pitch Slider On the SLK 1200 the pitch slider is very hard to move up and down. I really have to push it. Also the pitch doesn't stay constant it moves up and down. Please responsd [email protected]

This could be the result of pitch adjustments gone awry. Also, you may have both the 45 and 33 1/3 buttons pushed down which cause it run at 78. Here are a few trouble shooting tips and you can find the full manual for the TT at the link posted below:
Record sounds too fast or too slow.
1.) Turntable is set for wrong speed. Make proper speed
selection for record type being played with platter speed
buttons.
2.) Variable pitch is engaged. Depress quartz button or
return pitch adjust slider to center detent position to
engage quartz lock.
Moving pitch adjust slider produces no effect.
If the LED next to the pitch adjust slider center detent
position remains green when the slider is moved, quartz lock is
engaged. Depress the quartz button to disengage the quartz
lock and activate variable pitch. The LED should turn RED
Use the slide on the pitch control to move forward or backward until the dots stay steady. If it is a little old the quartz control won't work as well.
Put the pitch slider to +6 and adjust the internal preset until the top set of dots on the platter are stationary.
Check again with the pitch at +3.3 if the dots are stationary then job done!, if not then the pitch slider is worn and perfect calibration won't be possible until the pitch slider is replaced.
Your pitch control is faulty or dry. Try spraying wd 40 into the pitch sliding hole form top to bottom. Dont over spray it. Just a bit from top to bottom will do. If issue still persists, then there's some capacitors are weak which controls this pitch.
i had a similar problem i used a can of compressed air and sprayed the dust out from pitch control and it worked. the dust builds up static and interferes with signal> hope it helps
THE PITCH slider or the variable resistor could have gone faulty. A new pitch is only $25 i think. They may need to salvage the pcb from your old one as technics no longer manufacters them. I've never seen the pitch led stay on lock when the actual pitch is not at zero. Hopefully the pitch did not short out the brake or the variable resistors on the motor's circuitboard.
Thanks dropped if off today at the repair shop.
Nice. Tech-12s :)
