How to service/repair/replace the height adjustment on a technics 1200/1210 MK 2 turntable part 1
This is a video showing you how you can serves/repair/replace the height adjustment on your technics SL 1200/1210 MK II.
This is quite a simple process and one that will save you money I went to my local electronics repair shop and asked for a quote and they said £60 to un-seize it and £80 to replace it thats before parts, thats just labor !!!!!!! I said wow thats steep and he said yeah well I got to strip the whole tone-arm apart it could take hours. What like 30 minutes, OH I GET IT yeah that sort of hours YEAH take the rubber bottom off stand around and scratch your balls and talk bollocks 30 minutes take out the tone arm assembly than take a break and drink tea for a further hour than replace the adjusting ring and stand around and scratch your balls and talk bullock for another half hour put it all back together and charge me £150, BARGAIN!!!!!
Sorry about the rant there, this is what pisses me off and the reason I do the videos because Im sorry but thats a rip of it absolute daylight robbery!
Information.
If you use WD40 to clean the threads it may be easier to spray the Wd40 into a cloth and wipe the threads rather than spraying Wd40 directly onto the threads in order not to coat everything with oil.
When you screw the adjusting ring back on (the bit you turn to heighten or lower the tone-arm) once you have screwed it all the way on you have to turn it back on its self (loosen it again) until it hits 0, but if you have to turn it to far back E.G more than half a turn the threads may not be lined up right and you may have to take it off again to realign the threads again.
Use a cotton bud or a small paint brush to apply the grease, it will be easier and get more grease into the threads without much effort.
LINKS.
If you would like more information on removing the screws from the bottom the link below takes you to another video were i go into more detail.
The part your interested in is about 2:55.
If you would like more information on removing the plastic buffer plate and its screws the link below takes you to another video were I go into more detail.
the part your interested in is about 3:30.
WARNINGS:
DO NOT use copper grease or lithium grease on any part of the turntable.
Make sure you store all of the screws and small pats safely so you dont lose them.

Kenangan Terakhir Bersama Pak Endi
20 Januari 2008, dua bulan sebelum Pak Endi tutup usia ( 1 Maret 2008 ) saya sempat mengabadikan kenangan terakhir bersama barber legendaris Sukabumi tersebut. Saat itu, saya mengantar lima anggota band country rock asal Sukabumi yang juga legendaris "Country Jack" untuk merapikan jenggot sebelum melakukan pemotretan cover album Reunion mereka.
Sebelumnya, kelima anggota band juga yang merupakan pelanggan tetap Endi sejak puluhan tahun lalu, langsung sepakat bercukur di sana ketika saya sarankan untuk merapikan jenggot sebelum pemotretan.
Sambil menunggu pak Endi bekerja, iseng iseng saya ambil beberapa shot untuk kenang kenangan. Rupanya foto foto ini memang menjadi kenangan terakhir kami bersama beliau.
Semua anggota band "Country Jack" pun sepakat untuk memasang foto foto ini di cover albumya kelak sebagai penghormatan terakhir buat Pak Endi. Selamat Jalan Pak Endi, RIP.

Endi Cs - Barbershop Oldschool Sukabumi
Para lelaki yang pernah tinggal di kota Sukabumi pasti pernah bercukur di "Endi cs", atau paling tidak, tahu tentang barbershop oldschool yang paling lama bertahan ini. Suasana nya tidak banyak berubah sejak saya jadi langganan tetap semasa SD dan SMP ketika selalu bercukur bareng ayah saya (sekitar tahun 70-an).
Suasana yang selalu bikin rindu untuk kembali biarpun hanya untuk cukur jenggot. Suasana yang tenang di jalan Mayawati ditimpali sayup-sayup lagu keroncong siaran RRI dari radio transistor dan sesekali terdengar tawa para "grandpopz" yang bertarung catur di trotoar depan barbershop. Benar-benar suasana yang sulit ditukar dengan apapun, barbershop di hotel bintang lima sekalipun takkan sanggup menandingi suasana vintage di kedai cukur yang terletak di Jalan Mayawati No. 39 Sukabumi ini.
Bedanya, sekarang tak ada lagi pertarungan catur, dan suara radio berganti suara televisi yang 10 tahun terahir ini mulai siaran 24 jam (dahulu TVRI mulai siaran jam 5 sore, jadi dari pagi sampai sore orang kebanyakan dengar radio).
