Absolutely lifesaver thank you now I don’t have to take my record player in to a repair technician or spend even more time on the phone with Sony technical support not that they aren’t nice when I call
I received a replacement Sony record player because the first one wouldn't spin. I followed the directions to the letter. This one wouldn't spin either. It wasn't until I watched your video that I realized that there's a SECOND spindle that the directions never mentioned. 🤦🏾♂️ Thanks for helping me out!
THANKS FOR MUCH! I dropped my record player from a very low shelf about 2 months ago, the platter fell out. Although I've used them wince I was 4 for about 35 years, I've never checked underneath/inside to see how record players work before. I put it back together, assumed a piece was lost or missing because it wasn't turning on. I thought "HOW THE HELL DID IT BRAKE JUST FROM THAT very short distance FALL!?!?" The little spinner was moving, and I could tell it was suppose to make contact with the rubber edge on the underside, but I didn't know in which way. I assumed it spun it like a gear but with metal to rubber with direct contact, like a bike tire moving a flat platform, but it didn't reach. I tried to figure out what was wrong all night, then just gave up and haven't taking a look at it again till today. Once you said the word "belt", I immediately understood what was wrong. Didn't even realize that WAS a belt!
Thank you for you! Bought this model off an auction that said "new in box" and it wasn't turning. Did not realize the missing band was actually under the metal platter! haha!
Terrific instructions. Thank you for helping me fix the belt. I wish I saw the video before I ordered a new belt but I guess it’s always good to have an extra one around. 😊
Thanks! Pick up one of these at a local auction and when I got it home, lifted the platter to find the belt just laying there. Didn't know what to do until I saw your very easy to follow video and now it's working like a champ!
I'm having problems with the brass spinner. It won't turn. If I give it thump it will turn a bit. The motor sounds like it's running. If I slightly push down on the spinner I can feel it trying to catch a gear.
