Frakenwaffle Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have an ion http://www.amazon.com/ION-Profile-LP-Vinyl-to-MP3-Turntable/dp/B0029QRA1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359657954&sr=8-1&keywords=ion+turntable And as of late, when I put the needle over to the record it automatically returns to the rest, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it does it 5 or 6 times in a row. I'm either a. looking for a solution that doesn't probably exist. b. looking for a new record player, hopefully around one to two hundred.(I know it's not a lot, but it's all I got.)

Guest Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 i feel your pain, man. this happens with my sony. it's as if the 'stop' button is stuck or something. i took mine apart once to try to fix it. fix was temporary, but now it doesn't happen nearly as often. other things that have ~worked: spin the platter in reverse about a full rotation hold down the stop button and wait for a click apply the needle in the lift position rather than hitting the start button. better yet, just get a new table, because as anyone on here will tell you, ions blow.

Yeah, it was a christmas present a year ago and I didn't have the heart to tell my parents. I'll see if it helps, mine doesn't have a start button. But how much worse is the actual quality? I have a kick-ass sound system, but does the player make it the much worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 the actual quality is way worse. and if you have a kick ass sound system, then you are doing it a disservice by connecting an ion to it if you are looking for a new table, there are what seems like 100 threads on that subject. check those out and you'll find plenty of helpful advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The problem here, isn't the turntable(well it is, but it's twofold). The main problem is people buying such pathetically poor turntables and expecting them to do anything other than screw up. Stupid is as stupid does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lager Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had an Ion turntable that did the same thing. It probably is fixable but the turntables are so cheap there's no point, I ended up just buying a better turntable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had an Ion turntable that did the same thing. It probably is fixable but the turntables are so cheap there's no point, I ended up just buying a better turntable. Same situation here. First table was an Ion that started acting up with this problem about a year later. I switched over to a Technica for cheap and have been pretty happy with it since.

RustyShackelford Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 when i had mine, it did the same thing. turn the platter one full rotation backwards and it will work. Frakenwaffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
