Servicing Players

[Jaz]

so ive been seeing people saying they are getting there Decks n such serviced

does this need to be done in regular instances or just when something breaks?

have you ever had yours done?

i got my technics serviced when one of the rca cables stopped working all the time, was one of the hting sI thought I should get done but never seemed important before that.

I also got my technics serviced, I didnt notice any difference. I have a feeling they look at it and say, its a technics... what more can i do to service this beauty? lol

you can tell if your decks are not holding speed etc.. by looking at the bumps on the side of the platter which is a good indication that things are working. like i said, i serviced mine even though there was nothing wrong.. i dont think ill bother doing that again as its just a waste of money.

Generally the motors they use are top quality and ive never heard of a fault within the normal lifespan (10-15years), so general common sense maintenace should see you through.

Things like... using the dust covers, keeping them clean. not thrashing the pitch slider etc.... love them and they will love you back.

yeh buying the big names brands i guess you can have alot more trust it build quality otherwise they wouldnt be big brands

but yeh ive got a case and everything so dust shouldnt be a problem

The good thing is that the technics all come with dust covers so it wont cost you a cent
