My Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable died...what to do?

Ah - thank you. I was thinking that it's the motor, but you're right. Worth getting a power supply to try it out.

First, try spinning it manually and see if you can play the record smooth as the motor does while listening to your favorite tunes. It's great experience everyone should try!

Does the motor start without the belt on ?

If it does you might need a new belt. Rubber stretches.

Check the bearing has oil.

I'm getting good feedback/response directly from Pro-Ject, at support@pro-ject.zendesk.com

They sent me a link to buy the power supply as step 1. $36 which includes a 10% discount.

And they sell the motor for $100 plus tax & Shipping if I end up needing that.

I'd have to pay a repair shop to put the motor in, and we have an official Pro-Ject repair ctr. in my city.

So, we'll see if it's the power supply or motor. Even if it's the motor it'll still be a lot cheaper than a new Pro-Ject or Rega or Fluance.

And I put a Goldring cart on this one and I like the sound.

Thanks for the advice!

Lube the motor.
