Jollyronnie Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am fascinated by this problem. Does it spin with no record on it? Did OP answer that already? I can't imagine a cheap old record playing bothering to have any sensors in it. ha ha why the hell would someone down vote this? It's a real question.

niblips Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ha ha why the hell would someone down vote this? It's a real question. Probably because you didn't bother reading through the thread to find the answer..... just a guess. museummouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollyronnie Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Probably because you didn't bother reading through the thread to find the answer..... just a guess. Weird. Well I have read all of it and even saw that you asked the same question. I was just leaving room for the possibility that it got answered somewhere and I didn't catch it. stuffsux00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 shitty pirates press records + no counterweight is my educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 This may be a stupid question, but I figure this thread would be perfect for that kind of thing: I have a copy of Mogwai's Rock Action that doesn't stop when it gets to the end of each side. The needle just keeps going right onto the center label. I've never had another record do this. I'm pretty sure it's not my record player since I've tried adjusting the tone arm to no avail. It just makes me not want to listen to the record since it's probably not great for the needle and it sounds terrible at the end of each side. And just in case anyone asks, it's not a CD. It's called a locked groove. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked_groove#Sound_recorded_in_locked_grooves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 A locked groove shouldn't take the stylus onto the label...unless the label was off center. Does the groove look like it was pressed all the way to the label? That would be strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the groove look like it was pressed all the way to the label? That would be strange. just about to post that. the locked groove should keep the needle away from the label and stuck in the loop, which is why you can still place recordings on it. if it goes into the label itself, it's just a lack of a locked groove. is it not? does the needle still take what would be the typical amount of revolutions to reach the label, or does it float right on over once the record is actually done?

Guest Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Does anyone have a fix? Maybe a dot of glue or something to just stop the arm altogether? Please do not do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danionly Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 it's probably not great for the needle This. Why would you want the needle to run into dried glue? How does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like an anti skate issue. Do you have a record that is one sided? If so when you put it on the blank side does it go right into the center, or does it hang around where you dropped it?

kamalatapes Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 What's the update on this mystery? Were we severely trolled and left to dry out and rot on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForSunday Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Probably has pressure switches on the platter to let it know what size record you have on. Slight warp possibly not confirming it has a record on there or something similar. Read part of this thread so this may have been said already but I got bored of reading all the piss take.

leisurejunkie Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I don't have an answer to your problem, but I'll take that Salem off your hands since it's obviously fucked! :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangsAnalSatan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I know it's super late to the party - but I used to have the same problem with my first turn table. It's probably laser guided, and the laser doesn't like coloured records. I solved it by shifting over the stock rubber slipmat to cover the sensor, or if that's not possible, get a whole new slipmat. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
