Hello everyone, I am hoping I can get some help.
About 4 years ago I bought a mid 60's Elac Miracord 45H turntable. It spun slow. I have worked on and off with it for 4 years to try and fix it. I have regreased parts, cleaned parts, replaced my idler wheel and what not and it still spins slow.
I have not tinkered with the motor yet, something I thought would be more likely to be in normal functional quality but I'm beginning to wonder if that or some of the other small electronic components have something to do with the issue.
I am not sure if it is ok to take the motor apart or if I can oil it or not, if so I would appreciate any guidance with such.
My other idea was to instal a speed control switch for the motor. If that is something that seems alright, I would appreciate info on how or where in the circuit to instal it, and also what switches would be recommended for a small motor like that.
Thanks
Derek
