After debating the choice of fixing up my turntables myself or getting them serviced by a certified technician I decided to take what I thought would be the safer choice and handed them over to a certified Panasonic technician.
The pitch faders where out and even though the RCA cables worked they where a bit short at times and seemed like they where starting to decay.
So getting these two things fixed seemed simple.
I got the two technics 1200 back today set them up only to find that on one of them the right channel is gone! With the help of my brother and a multimeter we discover that their is no signal from one of the tone-arm connections to PCB where the RCA cables connect! So he has messed up a cable going through the tone-arm, FANTASTIC!
After getting worked up over this I go over to my other deck to check it out. Seems to be working fine... check the pitch that should be fixed now. Its the exact same!! Not fixed at all!
I just paid someone to butcher my turntables!
The main reason this sucks is because I have a party to do Saturday. Right now its Thursday night.
I am so frustrated and pissed off. :whip: :whip: |

I'm going to call that place as soon as it opens tomorrow and give this f*cker one hell of a throw down. Either he is paying for hire or he is fixing these up before Saturday night.
I am guessing hired turntables will have crap pitch. :(
I guess its a regular house party crapola fest. I still don't want to spend 5 hours infront of decks where it is near impossible to mix. |

Thats ing bull... Beat this arsehole down. How the can you respect yourself as a technician and hand something when you havent tested it or clearly know it is still not fixed.
These people me up the wall...
Keep us updated though man. |

| Don't even speak with him when you call, go directly to his superior. You know what you're going to get if you confront him about it, just a lot of "I don't know what you're talking about" and "sorry, I don't know what to tell you" crap. |

I worked today but made a lot of phone calls...
When I spoke to him he first tried to hide the face that he f*cked the connection in the tone-arm... "nooo, couldn't have been me"
Then when I told him the pitch is still messed up he tried to convince me that it jumping from %1 to %3 is normal.
"Look here is the manual it has that there is a +-3 tolerance"
I don't he is a dodgy tech at all anymore. He is just realy realy stupid. I know now that I should have just done it myself. I can solder, my bro is nearly finished his elec eng course... Im doing this sh*t myself next time!
Time to find out what is going on! Ill write back soon |

Ok the cable in the tone-arm may have been worn down and it just snapped, he fixed that so its fine.
But I went to look at prices for pitch faders.
Is it worth replacing a the pcb aswell if im not sure whats wrong?
Its going to cost me about $55 per pcb+fader just to buy them
It cost me $55 per turntable.
Im only 16!! thats $220 GONE!!
Im so pissed off right now.
I wonna find out where this guy lives and throw my decks through is windows!!
:whip: :whip:
Anyway... the question again
Is it worth replacing the PCB aswell? Could it be stuffed? |

Try and calm down. You'll achieve much more if you deal with this rationally!
Deep breaths!

Last night I was just really angry and stressed.
I'm alright now.
I'm borrowing a friends decks and going to call the guy on Monday to see if I can get some cheap new faders. |
