Good luck Dan, hope you can get it running as it is otherwise a very, very nice table.That's unfortunate.
I have some similar problems, mine won't start at all so I'll have to check everything inside
Help with Denon DP-30L....motor starts, then dies?

My local seller told me it would be o.k. to replace the C58 (2 00 V AC 4 µF ) with this one; 2 75 V AC 4,7 µF.
Is this true, or will it damage things?
I had this problem with a Denon table. I got it fixed, but I need to remember what it took to get it done. Your symptoms sound very familiar. I want to say the ultimate solution to my problem lay in a mechanism attached to the tonearm that had gotten stiff. Look at the left center of the attached picture. ..There is a transformer there and a green wire attached. Free that mechanism up with a little cleaning/work and see if it fixes your problem. There is a switch in there and a mechanism that needs to be freed up.
oops...old thread.

Hi Speedbump71, Were you referring to Fishead's issue or the one I wrote about?I had this problem with a Denon table. I got it fixed, but I need to remember what it took to get it done.

Fish fingers and custard!
It should work just fine.
The original poster I guess. I want to say my table was a DP-35. It is worth a look, as I am almost positive the motor start issue was related to that little mechanism. It sticks, and these Denon tables don't like to start until they are over the top of the record.

Thanks, Warren!
I will try to replace it today if I have the time. I'm curious if it will do the trick!
If not, than I will start to replace some components like the TR10 (in time, I have to order it) and IC6 perhaps, that may be causing the problem

The strobe was functional before replacement of the C58 and IC6
Next to the C58, there's the R72, could this be the resistor for the neon strobe? The wires to the strobe are right next to the R72 and the C58 (the wires are connected to 21 and 22)
By the way, I have the European model.

I am having a very similar issue. My DP-30L has worked great for the 6 months or so that I've owned it. Last week, I was playing a record and I noticed it suddenly slowed way down, then eventually stopped completely. It would sometimes start back up, then do it again. Other times on e it stopped, it would not start back up. I've sprayed and cleaned the pots/switches. I took the motor apart and lubed the spindle bearing. So far, hasn't helped.
Is the next logical step to replace the C58 capacitor? I have no idea how to test it.

I'm curious, where did you find a replacement cap for C58? I'm having trouble finding one .
I ended up finding it from Allied Electronics. I replaced it, but unfortunately, the problem was not resolved.
I have the American model.
I ordered a full set of all of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors on the board. I'm going to replace them all this weekend. I'm told that is a likely culprit for the issues I'm experiencing. I've tried everything else. The whole set was only a few dollars total, so even if it doesn't work, I'm not out much.

Just finished installing all the new capacitors. The issue is still there.
I'm not sure what else to do .outside of replacing the motor, I think I've done all I can .

most common for this condition in my limited experience has been a bad diode
very very very unlikely it is the motor
from your description diode is first place to look actually just change they are only pennies
