I have one of these which has developed a fault where the supply to the motor gets to the the panel for the buttons to control the turntable and stylus arm about 30 volts however the motors are not turning. Has anyone any suggestions as how to proceed.
This has not been used for some years but when run up using a 100watt bulb works on radio and tape deck.
It is about 40 years since I left the trade and this looks to me a bit complicated for me.
Has anyone had any experience of this unit which plays on both sides of the record and used to perform well. I would have to get a new drive belt and see that they are still available if I could get it going.
Thanks
