Hi to the forum,

Just acquired the above unit and only thing I can find that a little irritating is that when playing 45’s and then go to play another one it slips into 33rpm, I have to slide the speed slide to 33 then back to 45 to get it back, any suggestion please?

Regards Darrin

Is the drive belt knackered?

Check the speed control linkages for snagging.
