motor issues

Hello I bought ab defect Thorens td-125 and they don't know what's broken. I didn't test if other speeds are correct with a phone. But it was not turning at 45 at all. I changed those big capacitors with panasonic 25V1000UF. I don't understand much about electronics so it was my first...

Seeing as this is a Pioneer chip, I figured the best place to say this was here. I've been working on a PL-630 and after some reworking and repairs, discovered that the PD1003 oscillator chip was (mostly) dead, and the motor just gently bounced back and forth. I confirmed it was the earlier...

Hi All, I recently purchased an old Zenith Allegro console system from a second hand store. It seems like everything works and sounds great except for the turntable itself. No matter what I try, I can't get the platter to turn. When turning on manual mode and turning the platter by hand, can...
