Swimming in Sound
I picked up a Sansui SR-222 MKII that might have been purchased from England. I got the piece with an amp and tape deck that both used a voltage converter.
I used scratch remover and car wax to polish the plinth and the platter and the thing looks gorgeous!
The belt felt pretty slack but spun the platter. 33rpm spins slow and sometimes stops. 45rpm seems more like proper 33 speed.
I have soaked the belt in hot water to tighten it, and also used a belt from a Technics I had in the closet. The new belt was much more elastic and felt tight.
I can see that the belt is not slipping. The motor is not turning the platter and stopping unless I help it a bit with my hand.
Is my beautiful Sansui dead for good?? :tears:
