Ever finish setting up the turntable set at your gig, firing up the laptop, and then boom no signal or you start hearing white noise trying to say "I am totally messing up your set". Most likely you start in 5 minutes, and your checking connections, and settings like the a time bomb waiting to explode! Yea it happens to all of us. (Happened to me on Friday, and I had to spin on one turntable -_-)

There are two common issues with the Technics 1200 over the course of age. The RCA wire has some sort of internal break, or the ground you depend on to run interfaces such as Serato, or Tractor is totally not working. So today I will help you address this issue by creating this handy tutorial on how to replace the RCA cables, and self grounding the Technics ground wire, so you never have to struggle with securing the ground on the back of the mixer! *IF YOU NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS WITH PHOTOS CLICK ON THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DESCRIPTION.*

Now lets get started.

1.Unplug and take off all the necessary items on the top of the turntable. Vinyl, the platter, needle, and secure the tonearm.

2. Install a turntable cover (Yes that clear cover that your suppose to have somewhere) or find a way to keep the turntable from crushing the tone arm when we flip this bad girl over.
