table turning backwards


Okay, so I am probably an idiot and this is a very easy question to answer I suppose. However, I will ask it anyways. Recently my table, a mmf 2.2, started rotating the platter the wrong way occasionally. I would turn it off and re-start it. Usually that would fix the problem. Now it won't rotate correctly, in that it will only rotate to read the record backwards. I am not aware of any switch that I hit. Does any one have any answers for me.

thanks ash

I do not know your TT but it may be the motor capacitor gone bad. That is the only reason I know for a single phase motor to change direction on its own. On the VPI mk4 I owned the regular motor had a yellow run cap. You could see it if you pulled the motor and bracket out.

Most times if a run cap go's bad your motor is going bad also but not always. A cap cost a lot less to replace than the motor so try it.
