    Technics SL-B350 motor

    I picked up a B350 a little while ago. It had a crumbly belt that I replaced and I freed up the motor with a little lube. But over time, the motor starts making a chittering sound like a pissed off chipmunk. I'm not super jazzed about cracking open the motor assembly, so I was wondering what...

    The motor of the Philips AG 2230 turntable does not start. Help me please

    I ask for advice, dear inhabitants of the forum. I bought this turntable today, it looks great, but the motor won’t start. The power cord is not broken, voltage is supplied to the motor terminals. The lower bearing is lubricated, but the motor does not work.

    PL-41 Motor Noise Diagnosis

    Recently purchased a PL-41 at auction for a great price. It needed to have it's belt and thrust plate replaced, as well as some cosmetic work, but apart from that, it seems like it hadn't been used much.

    Nakamichi TA-4A Volume Control Motor

    My Nakamichi TA-4A works very well, except for one niggling defect: the remote control of the volume does not function. Voltage is appearing at the motor terminals when the remote control up/down volume is pressed: -6V for down, +6V for up. So that looks fine. I think the motor is dead, as...

    Pioneer PL-6U not working

    I recently bought a Pioneer PL-6U that came with the original box and when I tried to turn it on, the motor does not spin. The motor spins freely by hand, but does nothing when the switch is changed from off to any of the speeds.

    Thorens TD165: Diagnosing/Repairing Speed Issues

    Hi all, My pre-pandemic purchase was a Thorens TD165; this was right when it was more common than not to believe it would be a month-long thing and we'd all move on. Alas! So, it became a project turntable. I even had designs to learn how to solder (I never did). And after purchasing a bunch...
