Thank you very much DJ Spares for sharing this testing, fault finding and repair process. I have been searching for solution for my Technics SL-D2 turntable for the same Running too fast problem. I will try to diagnose and find if any resistor or capasitor is faulty as you have explained.
I had the exact same symptom as you described, and using your excellent video as a guide, I followed the same circuit analysis with my DMM to determine that I had the same problem with C216. I replaced it and all is well. You saved me countless hours/days of frustration. I can't thank you enough. Great stuff. Keep it up.
Kev at DJ Spares is fantastic.If you have any faulty DJ equipment then Kev is the man to fix it for you.I have sent my prized processions which have been repaired to a very high standard and sent back to me in pristine condition.I would not go anywhere else for my DJ repairs.Fair price on repairs and in a quick turnaround time so check this guy out on ebay for all your parts and service needs.
Tengo una tornamesa Technics sl 5200 que tiene el mismo problema del sl 1200, este detalle de velocidad del ejemplo del sl 1200 lo puede aplicar a mi tornamesa.
My 1200MK2 has a different cap in the C216 location. It's a yellow colored 47 uF 10V. This board all original. Perhaps they switched some of these components when they released the 1210. This thing has a runaway speed issue also. I hope I don;t have to replace that drive IC. I'm a noob.
I have an SP-10 MK2 that had the same problem. It spun really fast at first then a few weeks later, it completely stopped spinning. Do you think the issue is caused by the same cap that perhaps died? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a SL-1210 i bought new in 1992. I haven't used it sense 1996, because the pitch control acts funny, the stock RCAs jacks are shot & pop up light/pitch control light don't work. The turntable powers up. How much would it cost to get repaired? Thanks!
