My friend found this turntable at the dump and it is in near mint condition, it looks beautiful! Had a Grado GF 1 cartridge on it which I am guessing is a pretty nice one, but no needle on the stylus. I am not about to put any money into this thing since most reviews indicate that this TT nothing special, but I would love to try to get it up and running if it is a fairly simple/ doable fix.
What it does: The turntable will power on and stay on, but when I hit the start button it will spin for about three-four seconds and the stop spinning. I put another cartridge to make sure there is sound and there is. It just seems that it is the motor that doesn't want to work for too long. Is this maybe something that a little oil or deoxit could fix or should I just throw this thing out?
Here are a few pics (with that awesome iphone camera resolution) if that is any help. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
