Technics SL-1200 or SL-1210 Popup light replacement by LED

The light bulb of my Technics SL-1200MK2 (SL-1210MK2 is also applicable) broke down a while ago. Since I'm using my turntables for DJ purposes it happens often that I end up finding the right track using my mobile phone flash light.
So I decided to repair the light by putting a LED in, which will last much longer and gives a brighter light.
It worked out grate! The only things I bought where a 1kOhm resistor and a white 3mm LED. It costed me less then 1 euro.

I think I can live with the clip in lamp I’ve been using for 5 years. It’s as though when Technics designed the deck, they started with this bulb and built the rest of the deck around it!

Thanks for making & posting your video. It gave me the insight on how to do disassemble the turntable and then I was able to give the 'pop up light' unit to someone more qualified to do the replacement/upgrade. Helped me save me a bit of money on getting this repair done, as it then saved me having to pay them for their time & labour for that part of the process. I like how the video was sped up and was very easy to follow.

2022, still working, thanks buddy!

I usually do these with a blue LED (3.2-3.4v forward current drop at 20-30mA) and a 470 ohm resistor. Works great. Tnx for the video.

Nice video and funny music, thanks for posting it

I have an SL-1200 MK7. The thing isn't even 3 years old yet. The target light flickers when in the down position. Why would it flicker? I thought it was off in the down position? It flickers when no one is near the thing or it's not engaged in doing anything.

I'm working on this and I'm sort of stuck. The LED is working but it's not turning off when pushed in. Any ideas what may be causing this?

@StephenSpivack 5 лет назад

The music in the background is so silly! :D :D :D Real talk, thanks for posting. I still don't have the confidence to do this myself tho

@twinturbo5212 4 года назад

me neither, or the patience. Id rather replace the turntable. Maybe that was Technics reasoning.

@rsanchez7111 6 лет назад

Hi there. Nice vid. Just wondering does it matter in which line you connect the resistor coming from the LED. To the - or + ?? I've seen guys attaching it to the positive. Thanks

@roelloeffen 6 лет назад

rsanchez7111 thanks for watching, it doesn't matter! I hope you fixed it?

@rsanchez7111 6 лет назад

Roel Loeffen thanks. I got it fixed 👍

@lorenzosclips 6 лет назад

well I guess i have no light. cuz I'm def not gonna a temp doing that

@rsanchez7111 5 лет назад

DJBIGL there is a few more tutorials. It’s not that hard. Watch other ones where He’ll explain everything. You’ll be happy you did it your self. Trust me. If I did it. You can do it.

All that effort just to change a little bulb! Good lord Technics why?

Stupidest thing an amazing company like Technics ever did! Should not have to have ever been this hard to change a damn bulb.

@mbdesign8118 6 месяцев назад

I was thinking exactly the same.

@SaucyBegger25 Год назад

Yeah… I wouldn’t be doing my target lights this way 👀

@kevtucker 5 лет назад

Hi, If im going to use a Blue LED will I use a 1kOhm Resistor too ? Thanks

@roelloeffen 5 лет назад

It depends on the maximum current your LED can handle, Blue and White LEDs comparable in general. Red, green and yellow are different. Good luck!

@kevtucker 5 лет назад

@@roelloeffen Its these from Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071D7XM7K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The specs are : 3mm Current: 20mA; Voltage: 2-3V; Luminous Intensity:30-1000MCD. I've just done the strobe light using 4 x 5mm LEDs and used 470ohm resistor and works fine so now im confident to do the Target Light :) Thanks for your quick reply.

@roelloeffen 5 лет назад

@@kevtucker is the rest of the deck still functional? I did break my power supply the first time. You can check the polarity of the LED? Do you have a voltage over the LED, if you measure it?

@kevtucker 5 лет назад

@@roelloeffen Think I had the led wrong way round :( looks ok now. First time error I guess.

@kevtucker 5 лет назад

All sorted and working fine. Thanks for your tutorial.

@anthonyfrancis2374 3 года назад

I have watched a dozen or so vids on replacing lamps with leds on the turret some put a voltage regulator inline before the plug on the board? Is this important? Others like yourself don’t?

@johnadams2815 2 года назад

LEDs are sensitive to voltage and current, but mostly current overload. A regulator is unnecessary. A current-limiting resistor is.

@edwinzeedijk5867 2 года назад

This ia absolute not the good way to do !!! Orange and brown are ac current.... tou have to make it dc current with a lm7912 and a 470 to 820 ohm resistor....dipent on the dim you want.
