turntable will not turn
Is your motor on the small metal notch vibrating and the motor is pulsing but not turning? It is highly likely it is a transformer fault and you’ll need a new one. It has happened to be twice now. It has nothing to do with lubricating any parts or not having the turntable cord incorrectly attached; ProJect produced some power supplies that have incorrect wattage and it will not power the motor enough. I had my replacement today and it works perfectly!
how do you do this, I’d like to try and see if this will fix it.
Take your record platter off. Make sure the belt in on. If not, put it back on and then try it. If it is on, remove it and plug in the turntable. Make sure the motor is turning when you turn on the turntable. Move your tonearm that is the long arm goes on the record platter and carries the needle and check again. If it is not turning, then it could be your motor of your power supply. Make sure your power supply or wall wart that plugs into the outlet is putting out power. You may have to check it with a digital multi meter. If it is not putting out power then that you problem.
What do I do if the power supply checks out with a digital multi meter? How do I get it repaired here in Tucson, Az
