    Yamaha YP-B2 turntable belt replacement issue

    I'm having trouble getting the plate of the turntable to release so I can replace the belt. I just took this baby out of storage and have not replaced a belt on this unit before. Videos I see show it just being lift up. When I pull up from the two round finger holes, the plate feels like it's...

    Thorens TD 145 mk1

    Hello and good morning! I have a Thorens TD 145 mk1 that I cannot get the platter to “bite” on startup. It spins fine, but I have to push the platter to get it going, otherwise it slips on the motor spindle. Once going it spins at 33.3. I have a brand new Thorens belt too. Spindle and platter...

    What Belt for Denon DCD-570?

    Help! I need to replace the belt on my Denon DCD-570 CD player. Anybody know which belt? The service manual gives a Denon part number as 423 0056 011. (It's reference # 12 in the list of parts for the FG-50 transport mechanism, on page 30 of the service manual.) That's useless in terms of...

    Rega RP1 replacement belt in Canada?

    I bought my Rega RP1 used in 2013 and it's now running a little slow at 32.xx rpm (and the belt seems overly slack). I thought it would be easy to order an standard black belt through Amazon.ca or eBay, but I'm not finding a ton of authentic belts available. Is $33.40 CDN a fair price? Has...

    Systemdek 2 (or II) Belt recommendation

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a supplier of good turntable belts? Also, the existing belt has begun to ride out of position on the drive pulley. It tends to ride down a bit to towards the 45rpm slot and so turns the platter at a higher speed. Will a new belt probably fix this? Or can anyone offer...

    Hi all, Many thanks to all who posted in a previous thread of mine helping me diagnose a speed clutch issue. While I've yet to work on that, I did replace the suspension, which was a big level-up for this newbie like me. Relatedly, a new issue has presented itself. After having replaced the...

    Demoing original Rega Planar 3 (R200 arm)

    Hi AKers, I'm relatively new to vinyl, but I'm starting to get into it, and looking for a better sound. I currently own a Luxman P-406 automatic linear P-mount TT with an Ortofon 305 (conical) cart. It hasn't been a bad table, but I decided after reading a lot of upgrade threads that I should...

    So I got obsessed over a CD changer

    A few months ago I posted about picking up an inexpensive broken Yamaha CDC-585 and getting it to work. I'd wondered from the start about replacing op-amps in its analog section, but that turned out to be just part of what it's been subjected to in the meantime. I'll be posting a sort of...

    Thorens Belt vs. Thakker Belt

    Bought a Thorens TD147 with new Thakker belt. Checked speed and realized it was running a little fast. Ordered Thorens belt and just installed it today. The speed was dead on 33.33 rpm down from 33.52 (before adjusting azimuth I was in the 33.65 range). So if you’re having speed issues with...

    Replacement belts for Fairchild 412 turntable?

    I just got a Fairchild 412-1A in pretty good condition. It was playing records fairly well until I tried to clean one with the record spinning, at which point the long belt fell off the platter. I think the belt must be old and stretched out, because it comes off at the slightest provocation...

    Quality TT belt source

    Does anyone sell a quality belt? I have a Technics SL-220 in need of one. For the most part all replacements I have found on line are around the same price. So I bought one. Very flimsy. It lasted about a month. Thanks in advance. Phil

    The rubber band solution

    I have an addiction. I like electro-mechanical devices. I like figuring out how they work so I can fix them. This is a slow road, but I’m getting there. But I have a dilemma. Most of the time, the problem I find is the belts have turned to glue. Living in Canada, if I want to buy a belt kit, I...

    Toshiba SR-230: Can't get up to speed

    First off, this thing has been a nightmare. I would not recommend this table. It is automatic return, but the gearing is a set 2-stage sequence, with two switches on opposite sides of the gear under the platter, wherein you NEED to hit the cut switch any time you want to stop listening, or...

    Pro-Ject 1.3 motor vibration. Normal or not?

    Hi, guys! I am fixing a Pro-Ject 1.3 for a friend who had an accident with it and the tonearm needed to be rewired and readjusted. I haven't received the new wires so I haven't listened to it yet. The point is that I decided to test the motor and the platter to check if there was something...
