Hello , since i'm a vestax fan am and also have two pdx-2000, of which one is nicely painted with a rega arm on it. But the good 2000 had got some spray paint over it, and just worked fine, but all the connectors on the vestax boards are very loosy in my opinion. I removed the paint and replaced just to be certain the elco and bridgerectifier, since they don't like chemicals. But the thing is, you put the powerplug in the socket and since i allways remove on and of switches, it's turned onwitch can also be the problem, since on/off seldom really off is. The red light is turned on , i put the switch and the motor makes a thrilling soung but won't spin, so replaced the motor, same problem?, then i replaced the whole bunch from the gray table to the painted one and the problem remains, so is it the on/off switch bypass, a cable problem... The problem is that i don't know which mb and motor belong with each other. The motor is the same as a 3000 model, but i don't wanna mess with that onethe whole powerboard is exactly the same as a 2000 , only the motor says china and the powersupply is different. I ain't gonna buy new gear for such old turntables. But since the rest in primo condition, i'll store them until i see one for sale , which ain't happen often. Greetings richard

Hi Misskit , i have a Dual turntable straight arm [Dual is the brand ] maybe you could visit their website and see if there is something similar to yours that you could get some specs from , i think they are still in business they are a German turntable manufacturer . happy spinning

This is a really common fault with this model of TT. I've just repaired a pair of them with the same problem.
You need to remove the bottom cover of the deck then take the round cover off the bottom of the motor assembly. Be really careful with that, delicate sensitive stuff inside. Once you remove the screws use a small flat blade screwdriver to lift it free of the rubbery glue that seals and holds it in place.
Once removed, in the centre of that cover is a small black rubber cirlce about 6mm in diameter that the shaft of the motor rotates on. The problem causing all of that erratic platter movement is with this small black circle.
The solution I found was to use double sided tape to hold this part in place. This serves two purposes. First, to stop the part from moving off its required location, Secondly, to raise the part up slightly from the bracket that it sits on. Layer the double sided tape up so its the around the same thickness as the small black rubber circle. Then place the black cirlcle into its original location bedding it firmly into the tape.
A tiny small dolop of grease on the end of the motor shaft. Replace the motor and bottom covers. Bingo! The decks a-go-go!
Happy mixing!

I'd be checking the weight and height settings of the tonearm. Heres a link to the manual for the deck. There's instructions in there about how to setup up the tonearm properly. Don't be afraid to experiment with it. Just remember, too much weight will wear out your vinyl really quickly. Not enough weight will sound like **** and skip easily. Have fun!

hey,
it will work with the tape solution
but you gotta pay attention to the light metallic circle which is used by the light sensor (the small black one with cables on it) to estimate motor movement -
first time i opened it and did the tape thing to the black rubber circle i eventually touched the light metallic circle and i think that caused it not working for me too
the light metallic circle must be totally clean and plain,
do your best, but be sensible

It isn't that difficult to replace a power switch but it does require a steady hand and a soldering iron. You can probably pay a little to have it done.
