I noticed today that the cue-light on my Technics 1200 was dead. Anyone know a good place for getting replacement bulbs? The one I had was a wonky, lower watt one, and it wasn't as bright as my other deck, so I'd like to have 'em matched up. |
||||||||

shit, that sucks, i was just wondering how they could be replaced because i've purchased my mk3 two weeks ago did you use this lamp often ? |

all the time. the lighting is pretty poor where I'e placed my decks, so reading where the breakdowns are can be a bit of a hassle now. it was probably the radiosession on friday that fucked it. |

found what i was after on the panasonic site. but they are pretty expensive. 5 $ for one bulb? so, anyone know the specs for it? maybe I could get one cheap in a local electronics shop |

they're a bitch and a half to install. just get a flashlight. |

Another reason to get some PDX-2000s. Takes approx 3 seconds to change the cue lights and then another 3 to align them. Sorry, didn't mean to be an arse. I did see technics replacement parts at htfr.com a few months back, but they don't seem to be there now. I'd ring up an electronics shop, chat to the person there. You'll probably be able to take the turntable along they should be able to take the bulb out and replace it, inlcuding labour, for under £10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. if you can replace it, surely you must be able to take it out of the deck.. bring it to the shop and ask "har dere en sånn lyspære?" |

you know what's amazing? the fact that some people honestly believe that some superior entity, powerful enough to construct a universe, would give a shit to vomit it into its current situation, and furthermore pays special attention to us. This site proves their stupidity. Oh my god I'm tired. I wish I didn't have to sleep. This is silly. success continuation indeed. the power sets extend me to turing computability... hey, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you a turing computer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, by the way: check out amaenaide yo.. it's kind of sucky, but has potential (the guy gets beat up a lot). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're all bitchy turing machines... anyway, interesting thing about that problem is that it's hard to prove that all inputs result in the value 1, and also that so many smart people are stressing their neurons to exhaustion over it.. damn I'm so bored and exhausted I can't even troll properly oh did you ever watch pani poni? jeroen is procrastinating it.. it's excellent I promise, it hasn't gone downhill like poor dokuro (which incidentally just released #7-8, somehow even worse than the preceding..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, man! I'm getting more and more poni poni as we converse! I'll check dokuro nontheless.. it went a bit overboard like that Dead Leaves movie from the FLCL people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmmm ok.. looks like it has potential to be the standard testosterone fantasy (basically any show now), but I'll look, just for you.. fuck torbjorn is the best name ever, no fair. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dead leaves movie? do you play chess? I just wrote a cute ~9 line program to solve the knights tours problem (it returns all possible tours for a given board); I should maybe learn chess some day.. I guess I'd rather play go, since chess has become a memorization game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just looked up dead leaves.. so yeah production IG maybe helped with some of the grunt work in FLCL, but the real creative work in it was gainax.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! as i said before, the entire combination of your two names rock even more than mine... dead leaves.. movie.. OAV/OVA (can't ever get those straight).. something... it's over the top. about a guy who for some reason has a television for a head and a weird lady with a large red circle around her eye. they cause havoc. I once played chess, but I can't remember shit of it right now.. actually, most board games seem to have become a uniform mass of boredom to me, but there should be something out there somewhere.. last time I played chess, it was on a chess-board where all the pieces were small shot-glasses with vodka.. or.. we played it with sake.. when you loose a piece, you drink it, and thus, as drunkenness progresses, you loose more... you get drunk, though, so you don't care... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm checking lots of other new stuff too, btw.. for some reason I got caught up in that yami to boushi to hon no tabibito series and I got some fascination with mediocrity (sp?), so I'm getting all of angel links and kiddy grade... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I'm too antsy to play as well. only time I could imagine is if me and a housemate had a temporary urge for it and obsessed for a short period, but otherwise no. I avoid chess since I see it as a useless time sink; I can spend that effort easily elsewhere in ways I think will benefit me much more directly.. shit I can't say anything non-obvious in this state of exhaustion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if exhausted - get drunk. I just made an electronic samba riff and it'll be something some day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I barely ever watch anything remotely seriously, and rarely any fantasy/scifi since it's just a load of whimsical improbable retardation. That said, I should shoot myself in the face for watching 23 episodes of Hachimitsu to Clover.. yes that's my big secret, you may pretend to not know me now. |

I am planning on making a programming language which will be something some day. specifically, I've been brainstorming it for a year; over xmas I'll shit out a version; the goal is to use it to eventually enter this very highly regarded international programming competition which allows any language.. with my own language! and 0wnzor.

hmm.. hahah.. what's it about? to find new stuff I usually use the "anime match" thingie at animenfo... tick ecchi and comedy, and you've mostly got a winner. |

fuck I have to get about 1 hour of sleep; I teach class today, it sucks doing that on zero sleep. |

clover is a soap opera. hahahahaha I just failed at life. ok.. talk to you later. email me if you're bored, I'll try to respond within 7 fucking years |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
awesome! can you make the language so that it doesn't use the normal logical operators and symbols, but rather simple english sentences that signify the same, although a bit vaguer? "if THE_USER inputs 'SHOCKING SEX' into the textbox up there, tell him to 'Fuck off!'" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hahah! soap operas are good, but only as a "secondary" entertainment (laugh AT them). |
||||||||
|
|

still need the specs :) re-fitting it should be no problem, but I guess it's a bit more difficult than PDX. |

6.3 - Changing the pop-up lights remove the base as described above. remove the two screws holding the whole light fixture from beneath. Use a jewelers screwdriver ( with the rotating tops so you can apply pressure while turning ) to remove the small screw at the bottom of the metal cylinder where the bulb is. Make sure to get a correct size screwdriver as some decks have this really torqued in. (read below) If you are a DIYer it's a ~20VDC bulb. Be careful here or you may kill your turntable (12-14v bulbs won't work - they glow faintly when the cylinder is down and burn out too quickly - they sure are bright though) You'll need the right size too, some may need a slight modification to fit--use the soldering iron to burn off some of the glue at the base. ...As far as the replacement bulb was concerned, I played no games; I contacted an electronics shop in Oakland that's an authorized Panasonic/Matsushita dealer, and ordered _two_ lamps (just in case I messed up). I ordered them, and they arrived via UPS 3 days latter. I think the lamps were kind of pricey, around $4.95 each. By the way, If anyone needs it, I have a list of authorized dealers that I can e-mail or fax to you. [EdNote: It's Cass Electronics in Oakland,CA and the part number is SFDN122-01 : "Lamp, stylus illuminator" ] Using a small precision (jeweler's) screwdriver, remove the polished aluminium shell to expose the bulb. [This is where you have to be a little careful and patient. Since the screw was torqued in pretty good from the factory, what I did was used a pair of pliers to turn the screwdriver, while pushing down firmly to keep it from stripping the screw head. Since the screw is pretty small (and easily stripped), MAKE SURE you have a screwdriver that fits the screw EXACTLY; even if you have to go 40 miles to a store to buy the right screwdriver, do it. After all, if you paid nearly $400 US to buy a 1200, don't cheat yourself by buying a cheap screwdriver that can damage it.] |

Remove the bulb from the lamp housing and clip it off from the two wires as close to lamp as possible. You'll want to leave enough wire left over, just in case the bulbs you get don't have long enough leads. Solder (or twist) the wires of the bulb to the corresponding wires coming from the turntable. [EdNote: Make sure you use electrical tape or shrink tubing on each wire when done!] Insert the new bulb into the lamp housing and re-attach the polished aluminium shell. Re-install the lamp unit into the turntable. Before you replace the bottom rubber base, test the pop-up switch to make sure that the bulb leads won't get caught. If there is too much spare wire, you'll either remove the excess or just tuck it out of the way. Replace the bottom rubber base, and install the four rubber feet. Connect power cord, and make sure the light bulb lights and pops up cleanly. This whole procedure should only take 10-15 minutes at the most. Best of all, if you have the right tools (precision screwdriver, regular Phillips screwdriver, and a set of pliers) it should be an easy thing to do. |

thanks mate. I'm thinking about getting an original bulb now, that and a original arm-lock cause that one's pretty fucked too. |

that last link looks oddly familiar. I think I had a print-out of that one back in '98 :$ |

...are you abusing them in some way? ;) I just ordered 6 new 12", but I just play them once for my PowerBook. Turntables, needles and crackly vinyls are scary stuff for me, but there´s a lot of great music too... :) |

actually it's the one I bought second hand that's starting to show it's age. the arm-lock has been crap all along. but the super-glue I put on doesn't hold up anymore. it has been in service one time (the last time the stylus-illuminator was dead), and they asked me what I had done to it, cause they had to clean up a whole lot of sticky cola residue and oxidation. no wonder I got it cheap :) |

Hi Mate, If the table is generally old and pretty battered (ie something else may break soon), maybe it's worth getting one of ? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, wow, that's a great offer. Didn't know you could purchase the service manual :) |
