alright i have a very old turntable that was probably made in the late
1960s. whenever i play a record the needle always stops moving on the
record, usually in the middle of the last song. i have tried other
records but it always stops in the same place. it feels like there is a
spring mechanism that keeps it from moving in all the way in. so my
question is what is causing this to happen, and how can i fix it. just
please dont tell me to buy one of these new ones.
if its an autochanger (such as a garrard or bsr), unclip the
turntable's central c-ring/ clip and remove the platter itself by
lifting straight up. Look for a large metal toothed cam. unclip the
c-ring carefully, and lift off the cam. you may feel resistance, thus
revealing the problem: gummed up due to dried grease. More importantly,
there will probably be a smaller set of moving plates affixed to this
cam which will need checking and removing.
I have usually found it best to remove these parts, clean the bearings
and any shafts with alcohol and a q tip then regrease (NOT wd40!!).
hope this helps, let us know how it all goes.
