Thanks so much for the Owner's manual for my Sony PS - FL1. I had purchased the turntable off of eBay. It came in and looked great. Packed well and appeared to be great. I balanced and aligned the tone are and hooked it up. When trying to play a record the tone are would move to the right place and just before it would drop to play it moved back off the edge of the record before touching down. I searched the net for an answer to this issue. No luck. Then I purchased the owners manual and sure enough there was a place to adjust where the stylus touched down. That adjustment solved the problem and saved me a $35 feet to have the player checked out. The manual is well written and easy to understand. It is a must have for anyone with this front loading Sony turntable.
Some years back I pruchased a Sansui G-9000. I had it cleaned up and a problem with the left channel repaired. When I got it back I hooked it up to my tape decks, turn tables, TV and it played great. The only thing I was not really satisfied with was the performance of my Graphic Equalizer. I purchased this owner's manual had poured myself a cup of coffee. The manual is well organized and written in plain language. It also contained the solution to my dissatisfaction. By using the preamp connections coupled I was able to run everything through my graphic equalizer and now enjoy the full potential of my complete system.
An excellent service for the price, however, it would also have been handy if the troubleshooter pages were included. The manual is only sent in the language of your country, thus it looks as though there are some pages missing. Otherwise highly recommended.
I am happy to get a rare TECHNICS SH-9090 Owner's Manual by PDF in clear copy.

If the wiring is extended or a completely new cable fitted a 3-pin 13 amp plug should be fitted. (See Fig.5). Connect the wires as follows: BROWN to the Live Terminal. BLUE to the Neutral Terminal. GREEN and YELLOW to the Earth Terminal. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead which you fit may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the Fig.5 terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.
