Internal fuse How do I get to the internal fuse of A 1210Mk2 under platter or beneath the deck,

The Solution:
1. Firstly unplug the decks!!!
2. Remove the slipmatts and platter
3. Unscrew the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
4. Upon removing this circular plastic cover you will see a clear piece of plastic covering a circuit board, open it up. Now you will see a two fuses one clear and one stripey. 5. Remove the fuses (Gently poke it out with a pen/screwdriver or whatever) and examine it and see if either or both have infact blown.
6. Bring the suspect fuse/s to any electric/hardware/music type store (or search the net) and try to get a replacment but make sure its the same as the fuse you removed!!!. A T250 mA fuse(clear) an a T1A Fuse (stripey) are stated in the Technics user manual.
7. Now get the new fuse and gently snap it back in to the silver holders.
8. Replace the clear plastic circuit board cover.
9. Screw back the the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
10. Replace the Platter and slipmats
11. Turn them on and spin away

The fuses are located underneath the turntable platter. Unplug, remove platter, then remove black plastic cover. You'll see the fuses on the smaller PC board on the left side.

The Problem:
I bought a pair of Technics 1210 m3d turntables from America and did the same thing, they were set to 110v(american) as opposed to 220v(Europe). In my case when I turned them on(without changing the voltage setting) the light on the deck flicked on for a second and then the two decks completely died. I had simply blown the two internal fuses in the two decks.

The Solution:
1. Firstly unplug the decks!!!
2. Remove the slipmatts and platter
3. Unscrew the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
4. Upon removing this circular plastic cover you will see a clear piece of plastic covering a circuit board, open it up. Now you will see a clear fuse (Not the stripey one!)

8. Replace the clear plastic circuit board cover.
9. Screw back the the circular plastic cover (Note: 5 screws holding it down)
10. CHANGE THE VOLTAGE SETTING TO 220V(EUROPEAN)!!!11. Replace the Platter and slipmats
