Aiwa AP-2600 Direct Drive Turntable. Purchased new in 1982, this turntable has been fine until recently when it needed a push start to get it rotating. Now the platter does not turn at all. What is the problem and is it worth repairing?

Is this a cd player or a turntable recordplayer ???

cd player that drags usually mean theres a misalignment in the tray that holds cd

turntables that drag unless they are direct drive usually need there rubber drive tires replaced or a belt what ever it has

I'm not certain that you are meant to disengage the FG lock since this means that the turntable has achieved the correct speed. The problem you have is that the arm won't go down.
I don't know to much about the workings of this direct drive turntable. But I can say you can get the service manual free on-line if that helps.

Generic instructions for replacing a belt on a turntable such as yours are here:

If you have trouble lifting the platter off, use the finger holes and lift. A gentle tap on the spindle (with the handle of a screwdriver, for example) ought to free things up.

Hi, I;m not familiar with that exact model however the problem you are describing is commonly caused by the automatic operation at some point not being allowed to complete its full operation. Ie the tonearm has been returned manually to its rest position before reaching the end of the record. Try this. With the player not powered up lift the tonearm across to the record run off groove and sit it there. You may feel some resistance which is normal as the mech has to eswt itself. Now turn on the power and turntable. The arm should automatically return from there to its rest. Try auto operation after that. Let me know how you go. Cheers John. [email protected]

I suspect the belt is that slack that when the arm weight is on the record, the belt slips around the shaft of the motor. Does it start up again when the arm is lifted up? If it does then you need a new belt.

if the platter is removable by you and easily, might need just a little cleaning and lube at the center . the platter is the top rotating plate that you were pushing to get started.simply pulls out around a center key. check with local service shops how much they would charge for this kind of cleaning and lubing. $25.00 might be a good price to allow a decision, whether to buy a new.

Hi!
Make shure that is a 50Hz turntable. If you connect a 60 Hz turntable in a 50 Hz system, the result is aprox 28 RPM in the 33 RPM position/

The liely cause of the slow speed problem is the belt. Your turntable is belt driven, like components in your car's engine compartment. As the belt ages, it can begin to slip. Replacement of the belt will probably restore the speed once again. The PX-E860 turntable has been discontinued. There are parts, such as the belt, that are still available. How much longer these parts will be available for remains unknown. If you like the the turntable, you should consider purchasing several belts as the next time you need one, they may not be available or may cost much more.

You might also need a manual to direct you as to how to go about changing the belt. The manual is a free (after registering) download below:
