Question about Philips gemini TT-01 Turntable

1 Answer

Speed Changes My turntable is not spinning at a constant speed. Its like theres something interfering with the spinning mechanism. At the fastest setting its still going too slow, and the speed varries on its own. You can hear it start to go slower and then speed up and go slow again. Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

Perhaps it's time to change the belt on your unit. If after you change the belt, you still have the same issue, then the problem might be with the motor itself. The motor itself is a relatively inexpensive part, around $20-30, and the labor should run in the 40min range - so you can get an idea of what it will cost. Hopefully it's an easy fix. Not sure where you could source the belt, but if you take off the old one, you should be able to match it up easily. Also, there should be a part number in the user manual, and instructions on ordering a replacement belt or at least a part number. FYI, belts generally run in the $5-15 range, and are user replaceable. Good Luck!

How do I fix the speed of my Jensen JTA-460 turntable? I've tried numerous records that previously worked perfectly, but now the speed is too slow regardless of what album I try.
Could be the belt for the pulleys is stretched a little, or there is something making it slip, or the potentiometers were set incorrectly from the factory . It is normal to have one for each speed. It is unknown if you can access these from the bottom of the unit. Slippage is less likely to be caused by something oily, since it would alternate the speed faster and slower and yours seems to have worked then reached a constant slower speed. Do your 45's and 78's play ok? (yeah I know, does anyone have a lot of 78's on hand)
Your model does not have an outside pitch control to fine tune the speed faster or slower. Another Jensen model JTA-230 does. Entry level turntables such as yours are not speed accurate reliable. After reading reviews on your turntable, it's possible that the belt is the problem. If the slow speed problem had happened from the start, it would be safe to say that the speed wasn't calibrated correctly and you could have returned it and perhaps had better luck with another one but because it worked fine at the start and then now plays slower, it's either the belt or the potentiometer for the 33rpm speed has somehow changed.

I have an 1960's RCS Victor Hi-Fi with turntable. The speed varies on the turntable and I can't seem to keep it adjusted properly. It has an adjustment knob and strobe,but changes speed during a single...
Yes and yes. It is a 1960 RCA look on ebay for a New belt.

Constant speed
It needs to be taken apart. The bottom needs to be removed. Not an easy job if you are not mechanically inclined. There are pots inside that need to be sprayed with contact cleaner. Pots are under the knobs that control the speed. They have holes on the sides of them. You can purchase cleaner at a radio shack or electronic parts store or online.

Turntable spinning to fast
Clearly an electrical fault. Could be something to do with the power supply or the speed control circuit, or even the motor itself.
For the manual visit the Gemini website.

Turntable spins to fast.on 33 sounds like its on 45 but on 45 its even faster
Possible that the motor is working with a different speed. It can be fault in the drive, fault in the mechanism.
What is required is the need to remove the TOP plate and look to see the drive of the motor. If there is slipping of the drive it can result in higher speed. If so it can be aligned and corrected.

Our Technics SL-1200MK2 has issues with the direct drive. It does not spin at a constant speed. When stopped, it does not stop immediately. What can be done to solve this?
To adjust stopping speed you'll have to remove the plate by pulling it up. Then there is a plastic cover that has some screws, remove the screws and remove the plastic cover, you'll find a variable resistor that reads something like brake. Adjust it to the left or to the right with a screwdriver and see at which position works best.
To solve the constant speed problem you'll have to replace the pitch regulator.
Go to any panasonic/technics service and buy the pitch. If you have a bit of soldering skills you'll be able to replace it by yourself. You can access the pitch regulator unscrewing all the screws under the device and then removing the cover.
Hope you can solve the problem!

Thomas Pacconi turntable turns too slow
My older Thomas Pacconi turntable was also turning too slowly. Rather than replacing the belt or needle, I tried using an eye glass repair screwdriver to alter the trimmers inside the motor. But the changes didn't take. Then I tried trimming the power to the motor using the larger trimpot next to the motor with the motor itself set to the 78 rpm setting. But the adjustments to the trimmer didn't get the platter to spin slow enough - it wouldn't play an LP. To get the speed down further I replaced the 1K trimmer with a 10K trimmer I picked up for a buck at Radio Shack and successfully adjusted the turntable down to down to 33 1/3 rpm usage. All that was needed was a soldering iron and a 10K trimpot to get the job done.

Braking not working right
Well, does the platter spin at a constant speed (33 or 45 rpm), or does it spin super fast? If it spins at a constant speed, and it just wont stop, replacing that pot should do the trick (VR201 can be purchased HERE). You can attempt to replace it yourself (soldering skills are required), or just buy the part, and have a service tech replace it for you.

If it does not solve the problem, then the issue is with one of the IC's (integrated circuits). This is a more complex diagnosis and repair. But try replacing VR201 first, then taking it from there.

Good luck!
