dcochran4 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 My Ion Profile LP has been serving me for several years now but suddenly it stopped stopping - that is to say that if it is plugged in then it will constantly spin. I have narrowed down the problem after disassembling it: a spring had come off on the mechanism that actuated the motor contact. All this being said I need help from a gracious Ion Profile owner. I need a picture of the underside of another unit (cover removed) so I can see how the tone arm mechanism and the motor actuating mechanism connect and wear the spring mounts. I identify myself as pretty mechanically inclined, but after 2 hours of trying every possible way I could imagine they would connect, it still wouldn't cooperate. I figured I would try my luck and see if I could get a helping hand on here, as the internet has yielded no other resources for me. I would love to buy a new, better unit (like a Uturn) but cash is sparse at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm sure you don't want to hear it, but save your cash for that U-Turn you want. It's not worth saving that Ion. You and your records will thank me later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
