Technics SL-1400
Semi-Automatic Direct Drive Turntable - mkI Servo control (1976) - mkII Quartz locked (1977-78)
Description
Equipped with the same smooth, silent auto-return tonearm control mechanism and output muting circuit as the SL-1300, the semi-automatic SL-1400 meets most audiophiles needs.
Automatic output muting cuts off irritating noise caused when the stylus is set down or lifted off the disc and is most effective when the tonearm is being manually operated with the cueing lever.

te chnics sl 1400 mk2
Submitted on December 1st, 2009 by stickmaker333the platter is not coming off and the whole unit is on a floating system and sometimes when i try to move it slightly the floating system goes off balance now there are 4 screws on the bottom with springs on them i tightened them up all the way up now it turns now without rubbing but its so sensitive to any movement i guess my question is is that how i ajust the floating system it seems so easy to get out of balance i am afraid to move it anymore does anyone have any suggestions about this floating system like i said its fine now but in the manual it says nothing about this ajustment also any ideas about why the platter will not lift off the base i pulled on the platter and it lifts the whole unit up jeff here
