****ing turntable. one thing after another.
what happen
Needle?
Well...
Replaced the belt as I had mentioned somewhere around here, and I had thought that fixed it, as the first time I tested it, it played fine. Well the same issue started cropping up again, it seemed like the belt was slipping, but in reality it's the motor that kept stuttering. So I talked with LSB (as he has the same
SpeedBox as me), and he agreed to try the original power supply for the TT. I thought I knew where it was, however I think it's back at my parents house.
Anyhow, I checked the specs of the OEM Power Supply, and lo-and-behold, the Power Supply for the Speedbox is the same specs and plug. So I plug that directly into the TT, and it spins beautifully! No more stuttering, I can make it through a whole record no problem. I took apart the Speedbox shortly after, and confirmed it was bad, as it has a blown cap and what looks like 2 fried resistors.
Only issue(s) now are:
1. I can only get regular 33rpm LPs to play when the band is around the 45rpm spindle.

If I place the band around the 33rpm spindle, the record plays too slow. I've double checked the instruction manual (which the image linked above is from), so I'm not sure what's causing this. Ironically, I also tried my Kid A 10", and that has to be played on the 33rpm spindle, otherwise it's too fast. dafuq

2. Ground loop in my current setup. All the components use power warts, so none of them have a proper ground. Need to figure out what to do here.
So at this point, I'm not exactly sure where to go. I need to locate the original power supply, but it shouldn't make a difference as this one has the same specs.
