I managed to resolve the height and centering issue on the platter.

I adjusted the speed pots to see if it would make a difference to the speed, but it only got up to 31.9 RPM, so I’ll have to wait until I get the replacement belts in before i do any more with the speed pots.

Thanks

Thanks Martin.

I was trying to raise up the platter so it rotated free when an LP was on, and I wasn’t getting it even all around, so started tightening (turning clockwise) the right hand screw, but now have a new problem that the platter is pulled to the left dramatically.

Any idea of what I’m doing wrong? Or how to fix so I have even level and everything centered?

Thanks to all for the response, I’ll order a new belt and grease for the rails.

Thanks for your response Martin.

I haven’t opened up the deck yet, so not sure what burned/melted inside, but there was an odd burning smell just before it stopped.

The belt was replaced about 8 years ago and it’s been working for years with no issues, except for a sort of metal on metal rubbing noise on the last few rotations of an LP.
