Please help! Slow turntable!

by chickenribs » Wed Nov 27, 2013 2:00 pm

I recently purchased my first record player from a second hand market for a bargain of $100 aud. it's a silver (brand not colour) stereo system 100 hifi and I have noticed that all my records run slightly too slow. I really need help as I'm fairly new to record players.
Thanks in advance :D

If this record player is of the vintage era, it's most likely in need of an overhaul and restoration in order to perform properly.
Best to look up a local tech in your part of the world and have it serviced.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.
