Collin73162 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) I was gonna throw on my Billie Holiday record but when I opened my turntable, I noticed a white film or substance was pooled around the turntable shaft. It had no scent and it was greasy to the touch. I don’t know what it is and I can’t find anything on it. I don’t really wanna play my records because I don’t wanna get any gunk on the records. I have a Victrola Bluetooth Turntable. The model is VSC-550BT. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I’m quite new to the hobby as I’m sure you can tell. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your time. on a srs note...its more than likely grease coming out. White lithium grease is a very common lubricant on small moving parts. you can probably lift the platter and belt off to see better. most machines, if required, have labelled greasing points for routine maintenance. if thats not it...no clue!

How's it feel to be a full fledged cunt after four comments? I'd be more worried about playing them at all on that thing. Tbh the white cum gunk can only help, any barrier between your poor records and that prison shank you call a stylus has to be an improvement. And before you come in with your self-white-knighting about prices, a cheap AT LP60 table is identical in price to your model. The "high-end" Victrola models are actually about $30 more than the AT LPone20 (my one key is broken) Edited January 3, 2019 by holyvacantsholyhell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve all the crying baby photos now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
