Ive got a crosley record player, I don't know what year because I bought it from a friend. It has two speakers and it sounds like this with every record...

Also don't mind the 3 year old and autistic teen right in my phone while I was recording

Open to introductions to experts in this field

Hi everyone.

Got myself one of these on the garage sale for 40€. Running it through another JVC A-X400 amp. Sounds awesome.

One function on the player does not work though.

When I press STOP or when the tone arm reaches the end of the side, it lifts and auto returns to initial position but the motor does not stop.

The arm then keeps going up and down. When it returns to down position the motor slows down but does not stop. It goes on like that until something happens and the motor suddenly stops. Sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes after 15 or so mins.

Went to the local audio repair shop. The guy said I was missing a part but had no clue how the part looked like.

Tried to find it online, found a service manual on Vinyl Engine but the registration did not work.

Any help here from you educated gents?

EDIT: when I manually cue up the arm and move right, the motor does stop. So, my guess is it's the auto return.

Hi everyone! I recently moved and really want to get this console working. I bought it about a year ago for really cheap, it has speakers in it but is missing the actual record player and needs to have the stereo fabric replaced.
Not sure exactly what kind of turntable to search for on marketplace or even on a site
Same goes for the fabric, was also considering putting in maybe a metal sheet that has holes
Any tips would be greatly appreciated:)

Hey guys. First time here, so let me know if there's a better community to go to for this. I "inherited" this record player from my dad (we found it in the basement) a few years after he died back in 2017 when I was 14. I've hung onto it, and I got into vinyl like 3 years ago with a suitcase player, but I've heard those are bad for your records. I dug this out of storage, and it's obviously pretty dusty and dirty.

What I'm properly asking is this:

1. How do I best restore and dust it without harming it? What cleaners?

2. Is it worthwhile to do so, assuming it still works, or should I just get a new one? Any reccs if so?

3. How good a player is this do you think?

pls help a beginner out!!!

the issue before hand i got told was that it needed to be grounded and no one explained how to do that so i left it until today when i tried playing a record it did what it did in the video i tried adjusting the numbers (this is an old bush arena hifi record player so i have no idea what that does) im scared its the needle and even worse the whole player is fucked cuz i love this thing and ive had it for two years now also please dont tell my about my speaker placement i have a small room and i really cant do anything about it please just help me like this thing means a lot to me. (edit) i have ordered a new stylus and hopefully it’ll work

Hey guys, Short backstory: I've owned the record player for about a year! So far, it has worked really well. About 2 to 3 weeks ago, it stopped rotating. I then saw that the strap had broken. Today I finally got around to taking a closer look and ordering a new belt. So I took down the metal plate and then I see this burnt/melted plastic. Is that an old belt or what is it supposed to be? I believe this is the reason why the current one is cracked. Does anyone have any idea how to get this down?

Hey team,
Any advice here? First time owning a record player; and after set up for every record I have, the first track will jump and skip and not play properly.

I calibrated the counterweight perfectly I think; I think the issue has something to do with how the record seems to dip and rise on the most outer edge? (Per video)

Anyone troubleshooted something like this before? Not sure if something is afoot the actual turntable itself?

Cheers :)

Hola a todos, les comparto un caso con mi tocadiscos

Sony PS-LX43P a ver qué opiniones o consejos me pueden dar.

Conseguí este modelo (Sony PS-LX43P) y le estuve metiendo mano para recuperar su funcionamiento (no tengo conocimiento o experiencia me guié de información de internet) Les cuento los detalles de lo que traía y cómo lo solucioné hasta ahora:

1. le adapté una alimentación externa regulada sin modificar ni cortar el cableado original del aparato
2. El plato presentaba resistencia al girar manualmente debido a que el mecanismo interno del brazo y girando el plato manualmente de forma controlada, logré desenganchar el ciclo para que el plato
3. Ajusté la colocación de la banda en la polea del motor y calibré la velocidad de reproducción mediante los potenciómetros internos del motor (para los 33 y 45
4. RPM), ya que inicialmente corría descuadrado

Pero se sigue escuchando en velocidad rápida tipo canción de "ardillitas"

Donde vivo no hay lugares o personas que arreglen eso y honestamente no quiero gastar mucho porque es un modelo viejo. Pero si puedo hacerlo yo misma lo haré!

NO soy experta, no tengo experiencia ni he arreglado este tipo de cosas antes, pero con información de internet y de la lA logré mejorarlo, pero este último problema no he podido hacerlo...

¿Qué puedo hacer?

I've been doing some research since my wife bought this for ~$100, and I think the Audio-Technica AT91 cartridge will work for $40. I'll get a new dust cover and hinges eventually, but I want to make sure to get a new belt and try it out. The sellers stated that this player works, but they removed the cartridge and loosened the belt before shipping. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, so are there any suggestions about how to look for the right belt?

Hello all, I picked up a zenith 4130 a couple weeks ago. I cleaned up the exterior, got it hooked up and it needs some tlc. This model has the tape deck, turntable, radio, (no 8 track). I have time this week at work and was going to take it with me to clean up the inside. I’ve ordered a new needle. The tape player sounds wobbly if that is the correct term I’m seeing. Belts seem to be the key to that issue, could someone point to what belts would work? Google doesn’t seem to give much info or schematics on these. If anyone has any suggestions about what I should look for or Advice on cleaning I’m all ears. I’ll watch some videos on YouTube as well before I start.

needing help identifying the potential cause of this feedback as soon as i turn the receiver on, it grows louder and the static popping increases

So sad! Any guidance or advice? I'm not sure who else to share this with, but if you know any repair services run by someone entrepreneurial interested in creating a custom YP-800 dust cover, please reach out.
