Mine, both, need replacing...1 is sprung and the other is bound to be close behind it. It seems the only technics self service video that isn't on youtube...I have no problem taking the decks apart and removing the tone arm arrangement, I was wondering how far do I need to go? lol..prob all the way to the end, May aswell replace the pitchfaders too, that seems the easiest thing to do...can you get after market ones? are they any better?
