So I've just returned from collecting a Technics SL-P1200 ASC version. I've ensured it's switched to 240V, and I've pressed in the lock shaft. I've connected it to power and the main display has not come on but certain buttons, such as auto-cue, have indicator lights which come on when pressed so fuses not an issue. Tried inserting a CD, but nothing, not spinning and no noise of laser mechanism tracking.
Just done a very quick google search and the name of Mike Laister comes up near to York, specialising in technics and items of hifi nostalgia. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of Mr Laisters work or any ideas where I may be able to get this thing working (north yorkshire preferably, and cost is very much an issue).
First impressions are; it's MASSIVE. It weighs about the same as a pair of A80s! It looks huge also, I'm not sure it's going to fit on top of my target stand (where my current CDP has acres of room). It's in pretty good nick, one major scratch and a few smaller, all buttons and sliders present and correct and it's still got all its wobbly isolation feet. And it just looks so cool, a great bit retro control panel for playing music, great big knob, satisfyingly precice chunky buttons, and an AA class technical diagram on the display (for whatever good that does

Fingers crossed it's recoverable
