Seriously man. Your videos have absolutely saved me. I am a complete rookie on everything from motherboards, vinylplayers, LEDs, electronics of all sorts and just about everything else with the T1200, But i have now succesfully adjusted my tonearm that was stuck. Fixed the stopping speed on my platter. Adjusted everything with the tonearm and i just find myself watching more of your vids just for fun. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work!

Mate, just seen your channel pop up. I used your videos at least 6 years ago to restore a set of totally wreaked 1210's I bought on eBay. Couldn't have done it without your detailed instructions + advice. They are still in my setup, brightly coloured and all the replaced RCA's, tonearms etc all still sounding great. Just thought I'd say thanks. Without your videos I would have been the proud owner of two very large, heavy, technics shaped paperweights. Thanks man.

By far one of THEE best tutorials I have EVER watched!

I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

Good guide. The only suggestion I would make is some heat shrink on the in-line resistor connections instead of insulating tape.

I don't think I'll ever do something like this, but I watched the entire video just for the pleasure of enjoying your excellent explanation. Thank you!

One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on KZread for anything. Purchased my first Technics 1200 MK2 on ebay and had to setup and fix the popup light, rca cable, and strobe (it was in real disrepair). These videos made the whole process so much easier and I learned a bit more about electronics. Thanks!

you've put A LOT of work into this video. HUGE thank you and well done!

That's an example of a well made how-to video. All the information is there so there's no reason for anybody to mess this mod up. Also good to see a new Technics video being made. :)

Excellent video! I found your work precise, clear and I was highly entertained while being well informed. I've done some LED things with vintage tape recorders so I know how important those voltage and current values are (cooked plenty of LEDs in my time), and I appreciate your clear explanation. Great video, thanks for making it!

All of this guys videos on Technics deck modifications, solutions, tips, problem solving are absolutely wicked!!! His other stuff probably is too, I’ve only watched his deck vids. He’s also quite funny on occasion with his whacky number exaggerations. What a dude.

I’ve done a crash course of all your technics mods and fixes , I feel like I’ve seen you grow up in age because I started from the beginning and watched them in a space of a week , I’m learning so much but done nothing yet but I feel this is going to change soon, great stuff ;-)

This might be the best tutorial of anything ever explained anywhere on the Internet. Bravo!

Just discovered your channel and wanted to thank you for all your tutorials. They are much appreciated and a pleasure to watch. 🙏❤️🙏

I have just recently changed all the lights on my 1200's to LED's using a kit from eBay. The kit comes with written and picture instructions which to be honest are as clear as mud! But thanks to you and your videos guiding me along, this novice electrician/ solderer has completed what he set out to do! So thank you very much your explanations and videos have been a great help. :)

Lee Bell , I too bought a kit from eBay but it only came with one resistor per turntable, the one for the pop-up light. Did you use a resistor for strobe light also or did not need it? My kit is blue leds. I don't know if I must get another resistor for rest of LEDs.

Man, Im happy with the oryginal lights but when i started watching you i watched whole 41 minutes tutorial. Very good job mate and of course im following you now.

I have no interntion of changing-out the red LEDs on my Technics SL1200Mk2, but this was a fascinating delve into the inner-workings of my turntable, diode/LED technology and top-notch craftsmanship. I also enjoyed your sense of humour--especially the bomb disarming segment. Thanks! -Robin

Finally good to you see back man, can't wait to see more videos!

Wonderful video well explailned, I'm an industrial electronic engineer and you demomstrated the art of soldering appsolutely correct, I am impressed. I have seen many cockups in soldering by people not following those few simple rules. Masterful..

Very usefull video. Thorough, clear and well edited. All the links you need are on the video description. Thank you, and keep 'em coming.

Thanks for all of your technics videos! I've got two 1990s decks running perfectly using your guides

no worries, its great to hear that, I'm glad that my videos are helping people. thank you for your comment.

I'm a complete fan of your work, you are my go-to for anything 1200-related. Can't praise you highly enough. Thanks again!

Like always, your tutorials videos for Technics 1200 are the best, simply the best. Thank you for doing this, really thanks a lot. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.

I have watched many videos on micro electronics. Arduino's etc... Yours is the one I found the most informative by far! Great soldering advice. Subscribed and look forward to seeing more.

Thank you Frank. I enjoy all your vids. There is plenty info. I love the fact how you explain before you get to work. I have service my own 6 1200 mk2 from changing Audio cables to changing the pitch and calibrate the whole thing. So great. Thank you again.

James, this video is perfect. Technically correct in the work you did on the turntable. Congrats for the exact words and fabulous way to communicate. Go ahead with your high quality video uploads. Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal Macedo Pinto

Outstandingly detailed, clean and high-quality video guide, great job, thank you!!!!!

It's so nice to see a new video from you!

DUUUUUUDE! I thought I was alone. Im in school for electronic engineering and have been spinning for 15+ years. SUBSCRIBED INSTANTLY lol

Well, my 1200 MK2 still works fine but I'm surprised about your knowledge and experience in this matter, I've enjoyed to see you turning in action fixing and changing those LEDs. Congrats and thanks for help us worldwide, the Technics turntable fans and users.

Welcome back mate! Another excellent Technics 1200 tutorial vid. Cheers!

A really cool video with a comprehensive way of explaining! Thank you for sharing

Great video. Wish this was available when I changed my strobe leds 2 months ago. Would of made it way more easier task !! James you do a supreme job with your tutorials!! Thank you for what you do !

Well done, sir. Welcome back.

Very interesting as usual, thanks and welcome back!

Fantastic video, really learned a lot from this, will watch it a couple times more before i attempt a change of my LED's, cheers dude

Best tutorial ever! so detailed and entertaining! very very good job mate!

Hey Frank. I never had to put the resistor on the brown wire. But I used 3mm Leds on my strobe and color changing leds on my 45/33 buttons. I cant remember what the voltage drop is are on the leds. I have it written down some where. But Love your vids man. Been a real help even inspired me to get into Electrical engineering. Always been into electronics. When i started modding my decks and doing this stuff is what made me start school. So I guess I owe ya some thanks there.

really cool video, I don't think I will ever attempt this but I enjoyed watching the video, well done

it's a therapy to watch your video!

Good to see you're back James! You've saved me quite some trouble ánd cash the last year or so :-)

Absolutely fantastic as always James ! Well done & thankyou !

I would like to add two life savers for the tool kit, cheap wire strippers for the vaguely competent especially when it comes to stanley blades and to keep your camera handy and take a pic of anything your not sure of or involves a few routines in its repair, that way you don't loose momentum and can refer to the pic rather than having to leave your work station and refer back to a vid and all that entails, especially when there are different length screws involved. Im giving my decks their first big service in 20 years next week all leds and rca leads too and a set up am looking forward to it your vids are concise and to the point indeed and easy to follow and I am sure will make for a stress free service am happy that I have come across them...

DOPE! I see you've upgraded from your older videos. nice workstation! keep the videos coming!

Welcome back JAMES :D

Thanks for doing these vids... really helpful and educating!

Welcome back to posting, I have found your videos to be very informative. Can you do videos for other Turntable brands like Stanton & Vestax? Keep up the good work.

I know you have done this in the past, but I would love an updated video on how to change the RCA cables on the 1200. With better video quality and more information regarding what exactly is going on in the electronics. Thanks in advance - love your videos

Long time no see! Again another great video! Thanks a lot!

. Amazing .i wish i had even half of your knowledge of electronics, and hope youtube never loses you,or you never decide to leave youtube.too

Brilliant video mate!

great video as always. your explanations are great and really clear. thank you!

Nice job making a thorough video. Thanks.

Thanks for a great vid and thorough explanation - look forward to following your vids for my own mods (subscribed !!)

Hi James,It's awesome!!! I have learnt a lot from your videos. Thanks and congrats.

Thank U for your meticulous video, very clear and precise!

Wow the level of detail! I love the screw type / location graphic. I wondered if you were provide instructions on how to breathe during this activity :-D Top vid mate, very well presented. I loved it

Nice video! Best one I've seen yet for technics TT strobe

Looking good man! Another great video. Thank you so much for you videos, they have helped me tremendously. Please continue your work. Also, a suggestion - if you have time you may want to redo your oldschool videos in HD, or even to add more information you may have left out. Anyways thanks a lot for your work!

Very exhaustive video. Thank you!

nice, you're back!

Love the videos. Always helpful and awesome!

Brilliant tutorial. Superb articulation.

What are the odds? Yesterday I was changeing target light in my turntables alongside with Your (as always helpful) tutorial. During the proces I was wondering that it's been a year since Your last video , and if it's over of viperfrank YT activity ? Probably it's just coincidence, but a positive one! Welcome back and keep up the good work.

Brilliant video. Very clear- informative!

Many thanks James, another top video! I'll leave that red wire well alone ;)

nice video welcome back

You explained that VERY WELL!!! Thank you

Really Helpful, Well DONE!

Great work! Thank you for sharing this video.

You're da man viperfrank, thanks a million!!

love your videos mate. well done!

Thanks for the tech tips and the video ! you should use the resistor nerly to the circ board from the leds.....

Very nice tutorial Sir, thank you.

another great video from viperfrank!!

Thanks a lot, i think i understood it, and iam not a technicals geek, great lesson!

Perfect advise. Mine is working perfect again.

thanks mate, its good to be back, been a very hectic time for me at the moment. but hopefully that's all sorted now, i can get back to doing videos again. thank you for your comment and feed back.

I believed among the technicians that shows technical videos, you are the most knowledgeable. I trust every word you says and wished I have the same ability and know how. I have a little problem with my SL1300, I could not find replacement valve for my strobe light. Can you suggest a better way to replace it with led or however. Would appreciate all the help.

Bro awesome vid watched the whole thing!!!

Fantastic video - thanks for this

That's a helpful video, thanks for it!

Pédagogie 10 sur 10 merci pour tous ces conseil.

This is a superb video

Great video amazing insights, thank you!!

Great tutorial! Thank you very much! Cheers!

Thanks for the video mate.

Thank you very much for such detailed video. Best regards ~ Ash

Good to see you again Viper. I always enjoy watching your videos. As a matter of fact I used your videos as a guide to tweaked my own 1200's. In another token, I just got two used 1200's am planning to change the strobe light to white LED's. But I'm also would like to change the Pop-Up light to LED. Do I need another Resistor for this process? Thanks, and kudos from Chicago, IL.

awsome video thanks for all the info

thanks James ! understanding anti-skate next up !

Excellent Video!

Bro, you're spot on! Thx a lot!

Excellent video.😊
