Technics 1500 series - Reinstalling the Headblock
« on: April 19, 2010, 05:29:44 AM »
Don't know if this has been mentioned before BUT - it is fairly easy to put the headblock back in so that its interconnecting pins are NOT aligned correctly with the socket in the machine body.  Having encountered this problem, I now reinstall the block with the machine on - or turn the machine on after inserting the block, but before tigntening down the mounting screws, to check that the LED strobe is illuminated.

Beware: moving the block in/out with the deck on can magnetize the heads
