Hello
I recently got my hands on a Sanyo Q60 direct drive turntable, that hasn't been playing records for about 20 years. I had to replace the cartridge, and to solder some new RCA-phono plugs on it before i could test it.
First test and i becomes clear that the motor is spinning way too fast. I have no idea what could be causing this. I have checked the service manual but that is a tad to cryptic to me.
It doesn't help to adjust the pitch or change the RPM setting. In fact if i select 45RPM and press start the platter won't even begin to spin.
When i want to stop playing, the engine doesn't stop right away either. Actually i can unplug the power cord and the platter stil rotates. it will stop eventually though it just takes a long time for it to slow down. I would think that it should stop shortly after i press the stop button.
I tried to clean some of the parts inside, but that didn't help.
I've uploaded a video that shows what happens when i press the play button
I've also uploaded some pictures that shows the inside of the turntable. I don't quite know what the batteryhouse under the platter is for. Any ideas? Doesn't seem to have any influence on the spinning, as it ditn't make any difference to put in batteries.

Finally here's a link to the service manual:

Any suggestions for what could be done to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
