Video for Sideshowtink and governor adjustment 

Thank you so very much for this, Louie! This is exactly what I needed to see. You are really helping me, TEACHING me so very much and I appreciate this!! xo

thanks for this video! i have a pathe that among its other issues recently got extremely fast and makes a loud screechy sound as the platter spins.if the tone arm isnt on the record its spins extremely fast probably almost twice 78rpm.now im gonna open it up and see what i can make out.

This could be your problem..also on a Victor you motor you should check to see that the little screws holding the springs (governor weights) are good and tight. There is also one very small screw on the governor shaft located between the weights that should be tight.

Can you tell me what is the meaning of the governor? I'm trying to build a wind up barbeque motor and i see the governors in every wind up mechanisms. Thanks

i did all this ,,but its still alil noisy,,is it wornout??i have an older model 12inch record plate victrola,,or do i need to adjust it again??

forgot to add that when i wound it all the way down the t.t. started spinning in reverse? is my pathe in serious trouble?hahah thanks again for the great videos joe

do u need all 3 weights on the governor to operate the phonograph?
