Hello
The turntable they refer to in the manual is the little part or platter the actual CD rests on (About the size of a quarter). It has the little brass stem that sticks out in the middle that they brass weight installs onto. It's also a little elevated from the actuall CD compartment base. Basically just open the cover like your getting ready to install a CD, take a DRY Q-Tip and place it on the little platter and while applying light pressure with the Q-Tip place your finger on the edge of the platter and spin it at the same time. I took the liberty of cleaning the platter and the brass section of the platter at the same time. The whole procedure took 3 minutes, now the unit is working perfectly again. Some debris must have built up in this area over the years. Basically the procedure is like a miniaturized version of cleaning your vinyl with a record cleaning machine like a VPI. Let me know how you make out or if you have any other questions. I hope this will solve your problem as it did mine.
