Teac SL-A100 Turntable Logo

TEAC SL-A100 - runs only on 45 rpm I followed Jim's advice to another post and removed the back cover. The turntable assembly is not very accessible. Looks like the motor is plastic-welded in place. You can feel a belt. It runs only at 45 rpm regardless which speed the switch (33-45-78) is set on. Nice little turntable, only 4 years old.

    Thanks for the follow-up. I sold it in a garage sale for $15 with a "needs repair" sign on it. The guy who bought it only wanted to play 45s so it was perfect for him.

    the belt is best accessed from the top by removing the platter disc or at least the mat to observe what is going on.



    does the speed switch feel right? solid?

    do you see a 'fork' around the belt near the motor on the left side? if so this would move the belt up n down the motor shaft.

SOURCE: only spinning at 1 speed

This is a high dollar turntable. If you want, take the screws out, open it up and check that the direct drive speed gear is in place. Other than that I would take it to a repair shop. There's one guy on ebay selling a new one for $500.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/Technics-SL-1200MK2-Manual-Direct-Drive-Turntable-New_W0QQitemZ320132536688QQihZ011QQcategoryZ64448QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

SOURCE: teac turntable plays too fast

This sounds like a motor speed control problem. It could be either the motor itself or an electronic fault. So unless you know a bit about electronics and know how to use a soldering iron etc, then the answer to your question is no.

SOURCE: the turntable turns very slow when set at 33

the motor needs cleaning,along with the inner shaft on the spindle and a new table belt will help they glaze and slip

SOURCE: How do you adjust the speed of a Memorex 2601M?

Go inside and look at the main board you should see two/three presets, one for 45 and one for 33 etc.
If not look at the top of the motor for a small hole, it might be covered with a label.

Service manual of TEAC SL-a100 turntable

Try filling out this form at TEAC's support page. Only the factory would have access to that manual. It shouldn't be available anywhere else. I know only the Owners Manuals are more typically available.

Needle sliding

Going on what little you have written, the most likely cause is a worn or bent needle. http://www.turntableneedles.com/search.asp?keyword=793-d&search=GO is the needle type that should be correct for your Teac SL-A100 Turntable.

AFTER adjusting the speed setting to 33, all the records are playing too fast, they sound like chipmunks. I tried all three settings and while each speed is different from each other they all seem to be...

If it says your speed setting in on 33, than you have a problem with the speed control inside of the turntable, there is not much you can do in that area. 33 is the slowest speed too, so it seems like it is stuck on 45 or 78. Call Teac if you are still under warranty.

The arm and needle just skate across the record?

Either a bad stylus or the weight on the tone arm needs setting for the cartridge used.

Stopped turning

Try removing the cover and looking for a broken belt. Make sure that the motor is spinning too. If you find a broken belt, let me know and I'll help you find a replacement.

Good luck!
