Problem with Power Transmisson

suddy · Post by **suddy** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 4:03 pm

now then, this might be a bit complicated but i have a problem.

no, not that.

i have just bought a brand new record player, only thing is, i plug it in and my record doesnt go round.

i think its a problem with the power transmission between the plug in the wall and the record player itself. i think its called a cable.

i did discuss this with my fellow members at lincs, but they didnt seem to know why.

can anyone else help?

Pretty highbrow stuff, as we discussed pylons of the Type used now on the National Grid have an effect on the flow of Electrickory along the wires

when you do get the power on, make sure you don't leave the needle on the record it might damage the vinyl.... oooh scratcha... not nice.

Having done further research I can only conclude;

Manual Transmission is superior to Power Transmission

Have you tried moving the arm away from the centre of the turntable slightly, some use this as a method of switching on the turntable rather than having an actual ON/OFF switch. Other than that haven't got a clue, sorry bud

Belt drive or direct drive?

The belt could have perished and snapped.

Can you hear a motor running?

If you lift off the rubber mat from the turntable and lift......

Hang on, is this an in joke I've missedf?

I suspect the plug may be at fault.

You need to check that it is the three fingered kind.

One finger, no good.
Two finger no good. Two finger is German plug.
No good, no good.

I love you.

Also take care when you put needle on the record.

Do not be a careless scratcher ...

Look at this...
