PS1200GXL
Power System
KAB PS-1200 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
OUTPUT 20VDC Regulated
INPUT 120VAC 60Hz
Fits original models (1979-2010)
New for 2020 the PS1200GXL replaces the switch mode power pak for a new high efficiency linear power transformer. This takes an already great power supply to the next level by reducing the overall noise in your AC power system and reducing stand by power to less than 0.21 Watt!. Adding the PS-1200GXL Power System to your 1200/1210 removes all sources of AC voltage from within the turntable. It eliminates a source of vibration and EMI radiation. Improves performance of internal power regulation as well. Listeners report quieter backgrounds and even more stable imaging. Now supplied with DC-1200 internal regulator and SX1200 Strobe toggle switch making our PS1200GXL the most complete power system available for your SL1200 at a down to earth price. Electronic transfer circuit means you can always go back to the stock power supply if you should need to. Read More...

DC1200
Internal Voltage Regulator
KAB DC-1200 Internal Regulator For SL-1200
Our DC-1200 Replaces the internal stock 20V regulator. Improves regulation and reduces noise. Electronic transfer circuit allows use of an external PS (like our PS1200) and internal PS as backup. Short circuit proof and internally fused as well. Unlike any other regulator for the 1200, our DC-1200 also features a slow start up that ramps the voltage at the same speed as the original. This slow start is easier on the electronics and helps retain the 1200's sterling reliability. This is a good solution for those doing PS repairs too. Rather than troubleshoot a PS failure, just install the DC-1200. Fits original models (1979-2010)Read More... Only

Tonearm Wand Liner If you drop the arm wand onto a table it will bounce several times. I tried cotton, then PVC lining, and yes even outer heatshrink tubing, and none would stop the arm from bouncing. Then I tried this unique 0.032"thin wall super soft rubber tubing. It weighs only 3 grams, and changes the the arm force setting by only one half gram. It slips easily into the arm wand and fits like a glove. And now, when you drop the arm on a table, it just stops dead, no bouncing. It really is quite remarkable.
If you are planning to rewire your arm, this is a must. Supplied cut to length for the 1200 arm wand. This comes standard with our 1200 rewire kit. It should be inserted from the rear of the arm tube so that it just clears the 2 mounting holes.

Aux Weight
For Heavy Cartridges


Brass Tonearm Weights



Brass Weight Set Screw
Hanger Screw
Heavy cartridges like Ortofon SPU require a more substantial Aux weight to use them in the 1200 Tonearm.
To determine the weight you need, use this formula:
(Cartridge weight + Headshell weight) ÷ 0.2 - 100.
Ex, 30 ÷ 0.20 - 100 = 50. This should achieve balance with the main counterweight set all the way back. Giving you about 4 grams of forward adjustment. From that point to move the weight forward, the ratio is 3.5 to 1. So to move the counterwieght 1 gram you must add 3.5 grams more and so on.

Easy cartridge alignment with the Technics overhang gauge. This sets the factory alignment which optimizes performance in the inside grooves. It is good to remember that when the Baerwald alignment was originally developed, there were only spherical stlyli and the highest recorded frequency was about 9Khz! That alignment was never envisioned for today's sophisticated styli and full range recordings. As was discovered in the mid 1970's, with the advent of CD-4 which had information extending to 45 Khz, a new alignment was required and that is where we find ourselves today.

You can also order hinges, receptacles and screws separately as needed. The hinges are the same for all 1200's from 1979 to present. The receptacles are only for pre 2010 models.



When adding hinges to your M3D, be sure your turntable has the metal hinge mounting plate on the back with the two pilot holes to accept the self tapping screws. Some early M3D's will have plates but no holes. For those, we suggest getting the MK2 hinge plate below and convert it to a MK2 style adjustable hinge.

Platter MatsKAB Poly Metal Mat KAB Poly-Metal Mat.
This new mat from KAB consists of a laser cut aluminum disc dampened on both sides with a white PVC substrate. While this can be used alone, it was designed to be used with the Technics thinner mat (RGS0008) to make up for the missing weight and height of the original thick mat (RGS0010A)
Our new Poly-Metal mat is 1/8" thick, 11.5625" diameter and over 8 oz in weight.
Compare with IsoPlat mat and other exotica.

KAB/Technics Poly Metal Mat KAB Poly Mats & Techics Thin Mat.
Add the Technics thin mat TEFX5019 to your Poly mat for the perfect thickness and record coupling. Some say the Technics rubber compound offers the best interface to the LP. Note: that these new Technics rubber mats have a minor flat spot on one side which looks a little funny as the mat goes around. Be assured this does not affect the mats performance and the thickness is uniform.

Technics power knobs. Mk2, MK3 and later. They are different and are not interchangeable without changing the strobe cover as well. Be sure to mate them correctly.
The reproduction MK2 knob is shown in the picture to the left. It is a very good reproduction, perhaps a little shinier than the stock knob, but otherwise perfect. Also listed are the 5 additional moving parts that complete the power switch assembly.

Technics SL-1200 Strobe LED PCB
KAB has reproduced many of the Technics 1200 circuit boards. This is the Strobe LED board that mounts inside the strobe housing. It is slightly different in that a position for a dimmer resistor has been added. If you do not want to dim the lamps, just install a jumper wire across the 2 points shown in the picture. I find that some lamps, particularly blue and white can be too brite and adding 100 ohms can bring them back to a sane intensity. Other boards available now are the phono cable PC board and the pitch fader PC board. MK2,3,4,5,6,M5G PCB Only

KAB REPRO PITCH PCB
New reproduction pitch controls are availalble.
Pitch controls are serviced by desoldering the old one and re soldering the new one.
The pitch control is assembled in the following order: Control, Shading Cloth, Decorative Plate,
Felt Spacer and Knob. Shading cloth is peel and stick and attaches to underside of top plate.

Our Green LED matches original illumination. Blue LED comes with 2.2K Ohm resistor to match original Illumination.
D301 is a Zener diode located on the main motor board that often causes the pitch control to misbehave due to voltage drift after warm up. Our Diode is overated compared to the stock diode.

Our new Repro Pitch PCB fits all versions except M5G. Though not shown, the calibration trimmer control is included.
