Up for sale here is this complete recap kit for the Technics SL-D1, SL-D2, SL-D3, and SL-D3K turntable. This is all the capacitors you need to recap the main circuit board in the SL-D1, SL-D2, SL-D3, and SL-D3K. The old capacitors start getting leaky and the transistors go bad, resulting in speed issues. This will take care of most of the circuit-board-related issues you will see with these turntables, except if you have a bad AN630U chip. One major problem with these turntables is that the AN630U IC chip can go bad, which will result in speed issues as well. Unfortunately there is no modern replacement for this chip, so if you recap your board and the speed is still acting up then you may need to find a used chip, which is fairly difficult, though it was used in a lot of Technics turntables. Leaky capacitors can damage this chip, so even if your turntable is working, you should still recap it. This kit includes replacements for all electrolytic capacitors on the boards. These are extremely high-quality parts, the same ones I use when I work on vintage stereo gear. Capacitors are Nichicon PW, Panasonic FC, and Wima film caps. The 470 uf axial cap is replaced with a new radial capacitor, which fits perfectly. I will include surprisingly well-written instructions, but this is moderately complicated, and you should know what you’re doing and have a decent soldering iron. Please see my pictures for details. US shipping and handling is $5, and international is $18, no matter what quantity you buy.
