In this video we show you how to modify your Technics 1200 by adding RCA jacks to the bottom of the turntable to make it easier to replace your audio cables in case they ever go bad. Without this modification, you will need to always open up your turntable and solder your wires every time you need to replace your cable because of a short.

I have seen so many stupid you tube videos I was embarrassed for the people who produced them. Your video was a breath of fresh air. Your parts and tool list was spot on. The way you presented your work was great. Well thought out, not boring, to the point, great job, I rang the bell. Only comment is about the ground. Please leave it the way Technics intended. Use a bolt and nut with a small knurled nut to tighten the ground wire. Always separately ground your turntable, don’t use one of the two cartridge ground points as a chassis ground point. This will not work as well and it “Could” damage your expensive cartridge. Keep up the excellent work!

I was able to swap out the PCB board for a self grounded board as well as install female rcas on my table with a combination of this video and another video. First time Ive had no hiss, buzz, hum or anything... Im really happy.

Ground of the RCA connectors is mounted against the metal plate, so it's connected with the ground of the turntable chassis.

I would go all the way throgh the arm and replace the cheap cabling with better cabling. Kab modifications does this as an upgrade. Kevin is teriffic as he modifies these tables for audiophile playback in home. Thanks for sharing its a uniquely simlpe way of preserving your table.

Might as well replace the cheap tonearm with a real one as well. Or sell it and buy a real turntable.

I need some decent right angled RCA cables for my RP-8000 MK2 for setting in battle mode. The ones that come with are cheap and have a humming sound with out without ground connected. Idk if I need some adapters to make it right angled so I can use some quality longer head ones or what
@bigbadjojo4863
@bigbadjojo4863 Год назад
Which part of the rca port do I attach the hot wire and the ground wire. I am assuming the hot wire goes on the middle connection and the ground on the outer connector

Nice! Frankly I don't understand why that isn't standard on every turntable ever (or at least decks made since the 70s). Potentially very stupid question - could something similar be done to consumer level Technics direct drive, e.g. the SL-1900?
@keithb6717
@keithb6717 2 года назад
Why? Money! If you can save a dollar per turntable and you produce a million tables that’s a million dollars. Duh.

@renegade43
@renegade43 3 года назад
Nice video :) But how is the clearance under the deck when using separate RCA cables plugged in that way? I have been servicing 1200's for over 20 years now, and 90% of the time the primary failure points of rca cables is inside the strain relief at the plug end. If that end is constantly coming into contact with the surface you have your 1200 on, or bent at an angle all the time it seems like this would expedite the failure rate? I'm sure some thin rca's would have enough clearance, but asking as there are millions of types of rca cables and many people may not have the right ones, they might be too thick and have to resort to using flimsy cables so they are not constantly bent at a right angle causing strain on the weakest link. I have seen RCA mods where the plate is in place of one of the hinge brackets and they come straight out avoiding this possible issue. cheers!

I’m not quite sure I get it. Can you tell me the main reason you did this, please? Are you replacing poor quality RCA jacks with better quality RCA jacks? I’m trying to decide why I should do this in my home. Thank you very much. Great video guys.

@jordesign 3 года назад
You do this so you can easily change RCA cables on the fly. No more need to open up the deck and solder another cable in... The self ground thing I don't understand... I see no reason for that.

ive owned my 1200mk2 s for like 15 years and just now ive had one rca cord that needs being replaced so basically this is an unnesecary mod and its just another way for a idiot to fuck up there mk2s not a good idea just heat up the solder and remove old rcas then heat up the old solder and stick in new rcas its not rocket science guys
@keithb6717
@keithb6717 2 года назад
No. Never reuse solder. The flux is gone and you will produce a inferior cold joint.

For the price of a technics you could buy a real turntable which will destroy the 1200’s in sound quality. You won’t have to do anything to it either.
