We bought this new, used the turntable a few times, then we've used the radio and CD player mostly in the past year. Unit has not been moved or jostled, so it surprised us when the turntable would not work tonight. I checked the belt, it's still there, and we can't hear any noise in the motor--it's dead. Any ideas?

Okay, after an Internet search I found an answer that worked for our unit, a Crosely CR66.
With the power on and dial set to "phono," I GENTLY moved the arm to the RIGHT until I heard a "click" and voila! The turntable turned on.
I immediately posted this solution on another person's post and am including the solution here as well.
Hope this helps someone else with their Crosley entertainment unit.
I'm back--found a solution on my own which worked! Apparently the Crosley manual says to MOVE THE ARM to the RIGHT until you hear a "click" and the turntable powers on and begins turning. (Make sure to turn on power and adjust the dial to "phono" before you do.)
Found a solution that worked! GENTLY move the phono arm to the RIGHT until you hear a
click Tof course, do this after you turn on the power via the volume
dial and set the other dial to"phono"). Doing this turns on the
turntable when you haven't used it in awhile. This worked for us, hope
it works for you.
If
it doesn't work, you can check the belt by removing the tiny clip at
the center post and gently lift the turntable platform/tray to peek at
the motor and belt underneath. The pulley is on the right at the 2
o'clock position, the belt should be in contact with it.
THANK YOU!!! I was about to cry because I gave my husband a Crossley for Christmas and he used it two times...then it wouldn't work! Now it does!
Thank You so much!!!
