Re: Record player speed fluctuating
I got around to looking at the deck today. Took the turntable off and remembered - no idler wheel in this deck. The speed is controlled in the motor itself. I don't know the correct terminology for the kind, but it is more like the old wind up gramophone motors.
Anyway, I took out the deck and took a look at the speed control which was caked in years worth of dirt and grease, much of which was black and solid. The whole motor has had a good clean and a little fresh grease and oil and so far seems to be behaving much better.
Many thanks for the tips.
