SL1200 target light

[arsman]

I recently found a Technics that's cheap enough to get me interested. the problem is, the target light is busted.

Is this thing important or I can do without it? I have searched the net for instructions to change the target light and i know it only shines light for the needle. any more function of the light to be of great importance? let me know please.

thanks.

If ever, this will be my first Technics and Turntable

You should be able to get it repaired, dunno how much it would cost though.

Its not really important unless you mix in the dark, then its really important.

Its only to shine light at the needle/cart/headshell. Not a very big issue. Just get it!

Do rmb to check the other aspects of the technics though

They're not worth worrying about, mate.

A broken target light is a great excuse to get a bargain.

They are completely unnecessary.

so I got ahead and bought the turntable. it feels amazing, that I should have bought it sooner.

as i found out it's excellent to light your cd wallet in complete darkness

^^ makes sense. will fix it once i get a hold of a replacement.

It isn't necessary when using time code vinyl but it's very useful when using vinyl records as you can clearly see the grooves especially at dark lit places.
