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 so much. I too was ready to throw the thing out the window, I'm so happy! I can finally play my records again. I'm in South Australia. You help people far and wide.
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
Thank you so much for this video! The belt slipped completely off when I moved to a new home. I had no idea where or how to reattach it. You saved me from having to buy a new record player.
after moving home the belt came off, i thought the turntable was broken. saw belt was off but couldn't figure out how to put it back. your vid saved the day many thanks
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! 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!
Thanks for this video. Recently bought this turntable at an estate sale. Got it home and nothing seemed to work. I watched your video and outlet the round part off the top and found the rubber band all wrapped around the inside. Removed and reinstalled and it works great!!
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. 😊
This video is a lifesaver, I got the LP60X and I pressed the start button while disconnected by accident, when I reconnected it again and clicked the stop button immediately, wich causes the turntable to just level up and down the needle arm, it got stucked in there. I did this and the problem was fixed, I owe you one man!
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!
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.
Mine have a speed problem :( With an app I figured out is spinning 34, not 33, so all the records are a little bit faster :( Are there any screws or additional regolation to make? A fabric reset or something similar? I've tried your method but the problem persist :(
Hi i have a question,what if mine still doesn’t spin? I was just moving house and mu friend accidentally flip the player box and now it doesnt spin. can you help me with any tips or step by step
When the box was turned upside-down the platter most likely fell from the spindle and popped the belt off. You need to reinstall the belt. This video should help; it's basically the same type of record player: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y2Rk7gjGxv8.html&feature=emb_logo
