Hi.. guys all my 45 rpm Lps are playing fine , but as soon as I change the belt to suit the 33 1/2 rpm Lps, it slows down to almost half I think. Its deadly slow. It couldnt be the motor since the 45 rpm's are all fine... what could it be?
Is this something that just started recently? What table? Does the belt slip? Does the motor bog down? have you re-lubed the shaft? How old is the table? More details!
actually I just got it...used.. its rega planar 3... i tried cleaning the pulley and also put powder on the belt and now both 33.5 and 45 rpm are runnign slow :)
If I was a betting man i'd say the belt needs to be replaced. Running at 45rpm the larger pulley is used and takes up the slack. Does the belt seem loose in the 33rpm position ?
I agree with rick. A belt will stretch out with age. I am curious what kind of powder did you use? Odd the 45rpm platter speed was fine before you used the powder. By chance did you use this powder when you first set up the TT?
