Hi guys
My name is luke and i am new to the disco world. My dad Gave me a set of decks Citronic cl12d and they worked fine. However, a while back one of the channels stopped working. I sent it to the shop and he gave them a service and ended up costing me 70 quid!!
I have only done one disco ( a social get together) and know it has stopped again.
Both leads are fine and both speakers are too. I really would lik to sort it out myself as i dont make money out of it, i do it for freinds and pleasure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers Luke

Luke, if it's the same problem that you've already had fixed, take it back to the shop that did the repair because it should be down to them concidering how much they've charged you to repair it in the first place, which by the way is well over the top!

Do you use your splitter on the input connections to your amplifier or on the speaker outputs to make both speakers work? Also What amplifier and mixer are you using?

Haha, you have a piece of history there!!! A Citronic Stereo Popular, twin Garrard SP25's???
It is 99.9% certain you have an amp problem. These had 2 x 110watt Citronic modules in them, no protection circuit. By running the (hopefully) 2 x 8 ohm speakers from one side you are getting away with it. These amps SHOULD be very easy to fix. To check if it is the amp, not the mixer borrow a slave amp and run it from the slave out on the front of the mixer (1/4" Stero Jack). If all is well it's one of the Amps. As you are in London, go to Abracadabra in Whitton, round the back is a wizard engineer called John who has fixed more of these than he will admit to remembering. PM me and I'll give you his no.

Ok I know the sort of thing you mean. Sounds like it might be a problem with the internal amplifier, So yes take it back to the repair shop. Did the shop tell you what was done last time?

Luke,i have had loads of these old Citronic consoles...and generally they are very reliable...the problem may just be something simple like the internal jumper leads that run from the mixer module to the amp...do a quick test..can u hear both channels (left and right) working in the headphones?

Hi jbl_man,
I've just purchased one of these and it's an absolute beauty - I'm actually going to sell me Technic 1210s (once I get it working). I've got the same problem as Luke - the LH deck is perfect and RH deck is ok but quieter and poor on the left channel. It all works fine through the headphones - what do you reckon I need to fix and is this something that I can do myself or need to get a pro to look at? Cheers in advance, James |

Hi James,well first thing to try is swap the cartridge/headshells over,to see if that helps,but if u say its fine through the headphones,then it might be a mixer problem....is your citronic a powered one? (with internal amps) or is is unpowered?
The powered ones were badged as Avon ,the unpowered was a Hawaii.both look identical,apart from the amp vents next to the turntables.
Here is a couple of mine...
This is an Avon,with the built-in amps...note the vent grills next to the turntables.
The Hawaii without amps.
