i need to replace the arm rest on one of tables, and the light bulb on both. don't really know where to start with this.....

I found this site: 1200s.com

It has the parts:

http://1200s.com/Store/p100212/Pop-U...duct_info.html

I *think* this is what I need, but I haven't the clue on how to install them...i'm not DIY inclined.....it is difficult? any advice?

Your links did'nt work for me, but these guys has everything you need.

Replaacing the light bulb is easy, reaplcing the tonearm is a bit tricky.....and frusturating.

This thread has really good step-by-step instructions: http://tribes.tribe.net/e1c65cd0-09b3-4 ... e96f0154b6

but If you don't feel up for DIY you should probobly take it to a tech. Replacing the tonearm involves some soldering.

Good Luck

thank you!!!

and i'm not replacing the tone arm, just the arm rest. i think it should be pretty straightforward....got the day off tomorrow so i'm gonna make some calls if i have to and get this taken care of finally!

i havent done it myself but my friend that does it said it's a bit tricky it self,
yeah i would advise that if yuor not DIY worthy then dont ,inless your willing to take that chance.
i got a 1200 i need to channge the RCA plate on ,i just got to pick up the parts so i can get started ,i've messed with electronics before so i have some sort of idea of what to do ,i just need to get the parts really so i can jump into it.

i need toreplace the lights and one tonearm lock on mine too,first things first , i want to get the important things done first,this will be for my 8yr old son i got him 2 1200 and my old stanton sk-1 mixer for practice. he just bought this trippy punk rock record the other day.

good luck with your repair
