    Hope this is right forum for this, can't find a DJ equipment thread.

    My friend has a pair of technics Sl 1210 decks. He left them on one day, and when he checked after a while, he noticed he had left them on, and they were now broke. They will not come on at all!!

    He said he checked the fuse in the plug, but that is not it??

    Is there an internal fuse?? Or what could it be??

    Any help greatly appreciated,

    Kevin

    Probably better suited to the Dance/Electronic forum.

    Can't help you I'm afraid, although I know 1210's are built like a tank so there must be something external at fault. You sure there wasn't a power surge or anything?

    close to impossible that both 1210s would kick the bucket at the same time. About as likely as you winning the lotto two weeks in a row. Has to be something else
    ie - sabotage, fuse board, socket problem etc

    Yeah, check the user environment first. Try them from a known working power outlet, different room for example. New leads if possible too. Make sure the fault lies with the decks first. Sounds stupid I know, but having spent the last 10 years working in IT, you'd be amazed how many problems are nothing to do with the electrical device in question.

    Thanks for replies.

    I think he found the problem. There are these little glass fuses on the board inside the decks. One of them is visibly blown, little thread of metal is broke in middle, the other is not no easy to see with eyes, maybe it is broke nearer to end of fuse, thus, hidden by outer casing??

    He will know by tomorrow after a visit to Peats, or somewhere that sell these tiny fuses.

    Thanks again,

    Kev
