Paisan_Gelato Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I recently bought the soundtrack to Gone with the Wind at a record store. Its a set of 45s and is pretty old. Two out of the four sides won't play all the way to the end. It just slows down to a stop before reaching the end of the song. I don't think its my record player as this doesn't happen with any other records and only occurs with these two sides at the same spot. The records aren't in perfect condition, but there aren't any severe scratches, especially at the spot they stop so I don't know what could cause this. I've tried researching this, but every forum/article I've read aren't helpful. They talk about broken turntables that do this with a lot of records all the time. I really want to figure it out and fix this to enjoy the whole soundtrack! Does anyone know what could be wrong? (Also, if this means anything, I have a manual Victrola) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 You need a new turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 You tried another record to rule out it being your TT right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 are you sure its a manual TT? does it just stop with the needle in the groove or does the sound stop and the record keeps playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan_Gelato Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 My TT works perfectly fine with any other record. With these records, it stops turning with the needle in the groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
