My record player was working fine and then had the occasional time when it would work really slowly or would just start working really slowly for a while. I got a new belt for it and put it on and it was working fine for about twenty minutes and then the speed just went too slow again. It is still working too slow and I don't know what the problem would be considering we just bought a new belt for it. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Hi,
Try to put one or two drops of oil in the shaft of the motor. be sure when you put the oil it should not spread on the pull where you put the belt. You will be able to see the shaft of the motor beneath the belt pulley. And also put one or two drops of oil in the center shaft one which the plater rotates. Probably this will rectify the problem of your turntable.

Don't have a solution, but similar problem...turntable is too fast on 33, and even faster on 45 rpm setting. Turntable had not been moved...just played fine one day, and berserk the next..There appears to be some sort of adjustment on the motor but don't know for what, and without a calibrated strobe don't know how one would adjust anyway, even if one could. Agree it's probable just a crappy motor/design.

Keep turning the weight control up a little at a time to see if it solves it.

Hi, the transformer that supplies power to the motor has been fried by the 220v input and will need to be replaced. If you remove it and go to your local electronic parts supplier they should be able to sell you a replacement. Cheers John styluscity.com
