LoneWinters Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'm brand new to this hobby and I was going to go out and buy some equipment. My Dad told me he has an old record playing system that he doesn't use anymore and said I could have it. I'm fairly sure the amplifier and speakers work, but the turntable wont spin. I had a look and seen what I think is the belt loose and broken. I pulled it out and it was indeed broken and very weak, probably because it was old. I'm also fairly sure the needle is worn out too. Here's a pic: https://imgur.com/a/STmNd3r The turntable is a Toshiba Belt Drive Automatic Model SR-B20 Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

zdkaiser Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) 1. Buy new belt online using the turntable model number. 2. Buy sewing machine gear oil and lube up the motor bearing. 3. Buy new cartridge. 4. Go to Vinyl Engine, sign up, download service manual and owners manual for that turntable, if available. Follow the instructions on changing the belt and lubing the table. 5. Download some protractors from Vinyl Engine to align your new cartridge. 6. Balance tonearm, set anti skate. 7. Align cartridge.

Websiteee Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Why you want to spend your valuable time on the old recorder to fix it. Now in the market their no instruments available at this time. Why you can't purchase new music recorder if you needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
