    Yamaha YP-B2 Motor Mounting Incorrect? Do you have pics of the motor mounting?

    Just got this Yamaha YP-B2 and wow... wishing I knew more about turntables before I went and spent $100 on one from the 80s. Oh well! Fixing it is half the fun! Onto the question. I noticed the record was really slow at 45RPM and way too fast at 33RPM, which definitely made no sense, so today...

    Pioneer PL-510A needle broke

    Hey! I have had my Pioneer PL-510A for more than 10 years now. I put it on the other day and the arm started going everywhere. I looked closely and noticed the tiny needle fell off.

    Hitachi ht-463 speed control issue

    Hi. I have had this tt from new. It’s been in its box for a few years and was sporadically used during the cd era. I want to use it again as I still have a lot of vinyl, some emotional. It works, almost. Sound ok (but, below…), mechanism fine. It’s direct drive, uni-torque. Problem: uneven...

    Hello. I have a Denon DP57L. The turntable is generally functional and only required minor maintenance and cleaning after purchase.

    1ByOne H009 Repair

    Hiya! Okay, so, I've had my 1byone H009 for just over a year, and the player is running slightly slowly, enough that it's noticeable and annoying. I've replaced the belt and oiled the spindal, so that leaves me with the motor as the culprit. I had a look and it's a generic EG530SD-3F motor...

    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.

    Pioneer PL-516 Automatic Return issues

    The automatic return mechanism is acting up—it gets to the end of the album but ends up stuck in the runout instead of returning. Additionally, when I manually move the tonearm beyond the second or third song, it triggers the automatic return on its own. Same goes for 45rpm. Any advice or...
