 DIY: TECHNICS SL1200 EU TO US POWER CORD SWAP

THINGS YOU'LL NEED

• Wire Cutter / Wire Stripper
• Soldering Iron, Solder
• 2 Prong Polarized Power Cord
• Electric Drill (Or screw driver, but that can be difficult!)
• Exacto Knife
• Needle Noze Pliers 

 PREPARE THE NEW POWER CORD

To start with get your turntable at your work area. Now get your power cord. It should look something like this. You can actually salvage these off Walmart mini heat lamps!

Split the cable down the middle using your exacto knife, be very slow as it's easy to slip and slice your paw!

Then pull both the white wire and the black wire out in opposite directions. 

Now, with the wire cutters, clip off all the remaining shielding (the black stuff). Then strip back the black and white wire about a half of an inch back.

Now you will want to tin the wires. Tinning means to apply solder to something. This way when you tin the other end of what you want to solder togeather, you can use one hand to hold object A to object B, and with your other hand, touch with your soldering iron, and they will melt and connect together!
