    Technics SL-3 Turntable

    Hello all I have a turntable (technics brand model Sl-3,I'm in the process of changing its drive belt.
    That issue I can deal with pretty straight forward,I've noticed without the belt in place currently spinning the deck it has a sound of ‘catching' under the turntable plate.
    I can't see no visible broken or parts misplaced,just when spinning free hand you can hear it
    Any ideas ?

      May be you can coat the inside surfaces of the platter with a felt pen (which is easily cleaned) and spin it. If anything is catching, it will leave a mark and you can trace it back.

          Remove the platter and check the spindle bearing, if it spins without the noise, check where the platter turns and make sure there is nothing that can touch the platter

              1980s Holz Her 2420 belt sander - Only works when speed control at maximum
              by Babbar
              My fathers belt sander from the 80s which i very much would like to continue using has an issue with the speed control. The machine works fine on maximum speed but will not turn or give any sign of life when on any other setting. The speed control is a dial going from 1-6 although implemented as a potentiometer without distinct steps. I took the machine apart and measured each component individually, all components and measurements have been captioned in the attached pictures. The Triac did not get identified correctly using my cheapo component tester, i don't know if this is user error, if the...

              Technics SL-1200MK2 internal grounding
              by MartinConnolly
              I have recently bought a pair of 1988 Technics SL-1200 Mk2 DJ turntables. All original components inside and all still work!
              But, they have been 'internally grounded' which is a common mod that some DJs do which removes the ground wire and just connects the turntable chassis to one of the sheilds on the RCA phono cables.

              Now, Technics say this shouldn't be done because the outputs from a phono cartridge are balanced positives and negatives, not unbalanced signal plus ground.

              So, I plan to remove this mod.

              However, looking at the back of my chosen...

              Technics SL-PG420A.CDM4/19 whining sound with CD-R
              by Xenon-Codex
              It works but a loud whine appears with CD-R discs, but only in the middle of the disc, beginning and the end are silent. Silver cd's do not whine.
              It's still present with a different clamp. The player is Technics SL-PG420A.​ Blue capacitor in the laser circuit is replaced already.

              Aiwa ad-wx 717 belt measure
              by falcontech
              Hello
              Could someone tell me what size the drive belt of the aiwa ad-wx717 cassette deck is, I would like to buy it independently in my trusted shop, there is a kit online but I find the price exaggerated, unfortunately the original has practically melted. it is a double plate and the belts are the same, the one of the tachometer has remained intact thanks

              Numark TT500 Turntable...weird power "freezing" issue
              by Soma89
              Hello there,
              I have a TT500 dj turntable that sometimes "freezes" upon powering on. This means that it lights up as normal, but does not react when pressing the play button (to turn the platter) or adjusting any settings through the push buttons or even move the slider/fader control; it just freezes in place with its default settings.

              To get the turntable working normally again, I simply power off and on the turntable again and it usually boots up normally the second or third time around.

              The manufacturer is unable to provide me with a service manual....
