Technics SL1210 MK2 Erratic or Unstable Pitch Fix

A quick vid explaining how I repaired my Technics SL1210 MK2 when it started exhibiting this rather annoying issue. I was told it's 100% the Pitch Fader that needs replacing. I'm glad I had my doubts because it led me to DIYAudio.com where I was able to find the actual fix for this. In short, replace R307 with a 10k Ohm resistor and you'll be good to go. Big thanks to SDS over at diyaudio.com for providing this information. Please visit the forum post below for more in-depth details.
