Sanyo G3002 Belt Change
Hi Folks,
I purchased a Sanyo G3002 last year that had been serviced and fitted with a new belt/ stylus. Recently i have had a bit of a problem when playing records, when the record is playing it keeps skipping back and forth. I think it is due to the belt, and wondering how to go about changing it. I have fitted a new stylus and the sound is there, but the record isn't playing properly. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Shaun |

Re: Sanyo G3002 Belt Change
Hi Shaun, and welcome to the forum.
A stretched belt would only make the speed vary, it wouldn't make the arm skip. That sounds like a tracking problem. Is there an arm lift fitted? If so, check that it is going down fully. If it's not, then the arm could be catching on it. |

Hi Audio1950
Thank you for your advice I checked the arm lift and noticed that the screw for holding down the arm was loose so gave it a few turns down with a screwdriver and it looks like its back to normal and working fine again with no skipping or catches. Thanks Shaun |
