Well folks, I can't say I did anything today regarding the TT diagnose/repair. As some of you already know from the solar thread in the Pub, the electricity went off today shortly after 10, and since my solar backup is a minimal system at the moment, I wasn't willing to sacrifice soldering-gun wattage from the battery no knowing how long I'd be without. It did finally come back on around 5 or so.
As I've received a couple good suggestions quoted right there as far as where to start looking, so this will make a nice little project to work on during the week after work. And now that I've got some suggestions as to where yo start looking... Thanks guys. I'll have a look at that and let you know. I don't recall ever seeing any strobe-tracks on the inside of the platter so they might be under that big square cover where the drive motor is. I'll have to see.
I can say with a significant degree of certainty that it probably wasn't Barry that's responsible for this since the first record I tried to play yesterday when this happened was Ella and Basie!, and there's no reason ever for any TT to reject a voice a sweet as hers or a band as awesome as his. Sooo....
Here's to everyone having a great night!
My Mitsu uses a sensor to read the strobe markings on the platter ...
Maybe something similar? Try dragging a finger on the platter to slow it down and see if maybe you can trigger a response. That also has LEDs that can fail and fubar the controls.
I have that table but it's boxed up for awhile.
Check that the switch is working by use of a dmm. Stuck on 45 could mean a permanent ground or logic 1 high voltage signal is present.

The table rejected Barry
