Micro Seiki TT problem

I just bought a DX-1000 TT from a steaming POS in Canada and it obviously has a big problem. It seems to run at only the 45RPM setting no matter which speed button is pressed. The strobe will line up with the top ring which has the more closely spaced bars on it, but the 33 RPM setting seems to be in the same speed range.

Any suggestsions or people to send it to for repairs?

Thanks
Marty

You do not need to do this. The manual and service manual are available on vinyl engine. I have owned a few of these over the years and something is wrong with your turntable

Yep, your right, I disassembled the control unit and found out that the 45 rpm micro switch was sticking, so all the contacts were cleaned and now it is working properly. I downloaded all the manuals from the Vinyl Engine site. Now on to finding suitable replacement rubber balloon feet as one of them is ruptured. Looks like Sorbothane doughnuts would work in place of the factory rubber units.

Unless you're willing to fork over a ridiculous amount of money for NOS feet, you need to be creative. Sorbothane is an excellent vibration damper.
