    Ok great stuff thanks.

    With regards to the max VTVM reading? How does one take that?

     

    Cheers

    ah ha ok, hmm, i might have a problem somewhere.

    I have plugged in the antenna, albeit the white plastic connector, but none of the lamps even shine a small amount even after moving the tuner all the way from left to right

    UPDATE

    I found this image within the service manual. Green is labelled ‘gr’ with a negative symbol, and the other, labelled ‘g’ (I presume from the german word for yellow ‘Gelb’) with a +ve symbol

     

    I guess this is it then

    Ha yeah I am beginning to realise that. I live in Sweden and found a good contact in Denmark so hopefully they are able to help.

    I found a couple of old cartridges on a couple of sites, but they ant the same as the original, the Original cartridge has a nice clear plastic front, these ones had a black one, just not as nice.

    Hi there

    yeah I think I have all the cables plugged in correctly now. the balance seems to be all good as well. I was scared that it might be the stylus and looks like its the culprit.

    I guess my search begins?

    Thanks for the help guys

    Hi there, thanks very much indeed. I have a feeling I might be on here quite a bit with the problems I am having with my other stuff as well 😉

    But I checked the phono card (is this the pre amp?) I realised that my Marantz has an internal pre amp and I had plugged the RAC plugs into the wrong ones, so once I plugged those into the Phono plugs I got a lot more sound. Actually loads loads more!

    I have checked the balance in the arm as well, The First 1200 comes with a gauge between 0-3 grams. So I have set it to 2 like you mention (also states that in the confusing manual I think)

    I am still getting quite a bit of distortion which is leading me to think that my Stylus is on its way out. I think ill take it into a store tomorrow and see if they can tell if its broken.
