Platter stops when back-cueing - Technics SL-1200MK2 Turntable

Assuming it does not need repair, you should be able to slide cueing lever to the right (raising arm), then place over the record and the platter should start turning. Just slide cueing to left and needle should gently drop on the record. Just press stop button to return the arm and platter should stop/turn off.

Hi, with the tone arm sitting on its mount rotate the platter manually approx. 12 times. That should reset all the auto functions. Cheers john.

Do you keep the platter at one place --> don't you let the platter spin and keep the record at. one place, you are know f.5;5,g your engine and parts.... buy suzuki slipmats and use the plastic rounds of plastic .... i thought by thud rumble too let your table spin when you hold the the platter, otherwise components get to hot

Basically, like almost any other turntable.

Look up the recommended tracking force for your cartridge/stylus.

Unplug the power to the turntable.
Using the tonearm elevation control, raise the tonearm.
Manually move the tonearm in toward the platter.
Manually rotate the platter ClockWise a few turns to disengage any cueing mechanisms.
Set the Tracking and Anti-skating controls to 0.
Disengage the tonearm elevation control. The tonearm will either float or drop. This is why we have no power, just in case it hits the platter.
Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm floats exactly horizontal. Use the flat portion of the tonarm rest as a gauge.
Return the tonearm to its rest.
Dial in the prescribed tracking force and anti-skating. Play records.

If nothing lights up and the whole unit is dead, you may have a blown fuse, a bad power supply, or an electrical outlet that is not giving you power. (Don't laugh, it has happened to all of us... the "broken" thing wasn't plugged in or the outlet it was plugged into was off for some reason). Anyway, if the thing lights up and everything else in the system works except the turntable going 'round, perhaps there is a slipped or broken belt. Most late-model Crosley turntables have been belt drive, so the first thing to look at if everything else works is to press the buttons to start the record playing and then turn the record gently around with your finger on the label, making the whole platter turn clockwise when looking down at the record. Mechanically, the tonearm should cue up and pivot in to the record and it should gently drop onto the record. If you cue the tonearm up and move it in to the end of the last song on the LP and let it back down and turn the record again, it should follow the record's grooves into the center of the record and then lift and "park" the tonearm after everything is done. During the time the needle is on the record and you are turning the record, you should hear the record playing (it will sound bad, because you won't be turning at the right speed!), but that should indicate that the turntable is working mechanically and electrically.
If everything works like I mentioned except the record player won't make the record turn, the next step is to see why it isn't turning. you'll need to lift the plastic platter off the turntable. Most of these have a snap ring (usually a simple spring wire ring that doesn't go all the way around the center spindle. It may have an E-ring instead. Use a small screwdriver to pop this off and be sure to catch it, it might try to pop off the turntable and fly across the room! Lift the platter and you'll probably find a broken belt underneath. You'll have to replace that to make the records spin again. The hardest part is to locate a replacement belt! If nobody near you stocks belts (lol) then online outfits like LPGear.com can be a source. After you replace the belt and put the platter back on the player, remember to replace the snap ring. You might want to lubricate the platter's bearing with an appropriate lubricant, but that is your call as to whether that will be necessary. This is likely a styrene or simple thermoplastic plastic bearing, so be real careful what you use for a lubricant! if you're not sure, don't use anything! Like I said, it's not a difficult repair, it's just hard to find the part these days! Good Luck!

I would like to know if it possible to use my Numark DXM09 mixer ... with two Numark ICDX players and use Numark Cue software

Try changing the platter speed from 33rpm to 45 rpm The menu for this should be in the preset section on the player.... Good Luck

I don't have anything on that model but general advice would be to...

Try to grab the belt with something soft without sharp edges - say, a loop of yarn or ribbon. Rotate the opening in the platter over to the drive pulley (generally about the 7-8 o'clock position when viewed from the front) and using the ribbon gently stretch the belt over it. If it catches remove the ribbon and manually rotate the platter clockwise about 5-10 turns to seat it and reset any cueing mechanisms. If it's still on and tensioned replace the plate and go to the balancing act.

Look up the recommended tracking force for your cartridge/stylus.

Unplug the power to the turntable and place it on a perfectly level surface.
Using the tonearm elevation control, raise the tonearm.
Manually move the tonearm in toward the platter.
Manually rotate the platter ClockWise a few turns to disengage any cueing mechanisms.
Set the Tracking Force to 0.
Disengage the tonearm elevation control. The tonearm will either float or drop. This is why we have no power, just in case it hits the platter.
Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm floats exactly horizontal. Use the flat portion of the tonarm rest as a gauge.
Return the tonearm to its rest.
Dial in the prescribed tracking force and a corresponding anti-skate reading. Play records.

hi nikki,

when you say ages to get back to speed how long is that exactly? even on my technics for cueing i give a slight throw to hit my cue points.
also your slip mat may be an issue. do not use the rubber mats use the soft nylon foam one that came with it only.

I do not quite understand your description. However, the motor switch is underneath the deck and is very sensitive to adjust if you have to.

Try starting from scratch with no record on the turntable, the protector over the stylus. and the arm lifted with the cue button. The motor should not be running.

Gently move the arm towards the platter. The motor should start up.

Continue gently moving the arm across the platter slowly until you hear a slight clicking noise.

The arm should try to lift (it's already up) and return to the rest - it will stay up, of course.

After one more rotation of the platter the motor then switches off, or is supposed to at least, by a cam under the platter. You should hear the click as it does so.

It is all a matter of adjustment, and any knocks or bangs the deck may have had may have changed the set-up.

The STOP button you mention is so that you can start the arm lift- and -return cycle at any point on the record. It is not a switch.
