Record slow down

(1/5) > >>

aragorn723:
Today I was listening to some records and noticed that they are slowing down.  The record player is a Uturn Orbit, and is 3 years old.  Is fixing this as simple as replacing the belt?

Paul Birkeland:
Why don't you ask U-turn?

Is the TT always off, or does it depend on where the needle is on the record?

aragorn723:
Only sometimes.  Its off when the stylus is closer to the end of a side.

Dave

aragorn723:
Was hoping someone could help on here.  I did send a note to Uturn but probably won't hear anything till Tuesday with the holiday coming.  Curious about your question though Paul, seems to imply it might not be the belt.  You would think belt tension is constant throughout the whole record.

Dave

Deluk:
Have you got a little strobe plate you can drop on the spindle? Useful to have far a $ or 2. You can then check the speed at any point on a record.
How is the bias set on your arm. String and weight? Magnetic? Might be a problem there.
