20 Most Recent Vestax Handy Trax Turntable Questions & Answers

hummm , does it also hum with the other gear shift out, especially tl and ledlights, if so it't a ground loop, but often is just the earth of the turntable not well connected

It's a variable , since it's depended on more parts, but just clean it first and gently turn it until the platter moves correct,assuming you mean to correct the variable resistor(potmeter) . If the value was everywhere the same, then you don't need a variable resistor:)

Generally caused by a worn stylus, or incorrect pressure. Increase the weight - pressure, by adjusting the weight on the end of the arm.

This is a belt driven turntable. It is very possible that the belt between the motor and platter has either broken or slipped off.

Consult your manual for instructions on how to access and replace the belt. Since it appears it isn't even trying to start, it is probably not just slipping.

If the belt isn't the problem - you could see if you see the drive motor running when activated. If the motor isn't running, there may be a problem with the motor, tone arm or something else.

Hopefully, the belt is the problem. Good luck!

use strong fingernail or similar to unclip the red plastic straight down. above is the needle you seek.

Since the Handy Trax Comes with a Sapphire needle, upgrading to a diamong one will give a better sound http://www.turntablelab.com/dj_equipment/1/131/4962.html

It is possible that the deck that feels loose is not properly secured to the turntable. You may want to try tightening the screws or bolts that hold the deck in place. If this does not fix the issue, there may be a problem with the bearings or the motor of the turntable. It is best to consult a technician or the manufacturer for further assistance.

Vestax went out of business in 2014. I have found a website called Virtual Sounds Technology. They are the largest suppliers of their parts going. They say "if we don't have it, it either no longer exists or can only be pulled from a used unit". So your best option is to ask them!

I recommend you search for just tonearm counterweights. Rather than your make of deck. You will then have to compare them to see if it will fit your arm. Amazon do have them for different makes. Vestax might be just a name given to a shop brand, the deck itself being made by a more well known company.

From what I can find it only has RCA connectors.
