Hello,
There is a buzzing sound coming from one of my turntables. I have changed the channels around and it still only comes from the same turntable. The other one is fine and there is no buzzing, but as soon as i move the crossfader slightly the buzzing can be heard. I've not plugged them into an amp, i'm running them a pair of creative speakers but as the buzzing is only from one turntable and not both i do think this is the problm. Could it perhaps be loose wiring within the specific turntable? Please help me out.
Thanks
Where can i get the technic 1210 mk5 internal wires in the tone arm that connect to from the circuit board to the needle (the really long one inside the tonearm)
More than likely your RCA's need to be replaced. There is no need to open it up, as the ground wire rarely every comes loose. It's held down by a screw & soldered to the circuit board. Unless you pulled on the ground wire.
There are only 3 issues which can cause this:
1) Technics Tonearm - Check the 4 prongs inside the tonearm. Make sure they are all clean (shiny gold), and all protruding the same distance. There are springs behind these prongs, and often times they do come loose over time or overtightening.
2) Technics RCA Cables - This is more than likely the culprit.
3) Cartridge/Headshell - swap out with your good unit. If it works, then your good. Just replace cartridge
With the exception of #3, the other 2 will require assistance from a qualified service technician, otherwise you could cause more damage to your turntables.
