When I move the arm towards the plate, the plate won't spin. I know I should hear the motor running, but it makes no sound and the plate won't turn... can you guys help me?
SOURCE: Turntable will not turn
There is really nothing else to it. If the drive belt is in tact, and properly installed, and the spindle motor is rotating properly, your turntable should rotate. There's nothing else that rotates the platter. Just make sure the belt is wrapped around the spindle motor.

SOURCE: My KD-291RC has power but my turntable wont turn
Your turntable is belt-driven, it's likely that the belt just fell off. The belt lives under the turntable. On my turntable (a totally different model) the turntable lifts off.
SOURCE: Technics SL 1600Mk2 turntable works, but turns off seconds later
The SL1600MK2 is a direct drive turntable. Meaning that there are multiple electronic components which make it turn. With that said, the only place you can start is the main circuit board. Unfortunately, this will not be an easy diagnosis without the proper testing tools - multimeter, and a scope to get you started.
Otherwise, you'll have to take it to a service technican for repair.
Unfortunately, all parts for this model are discontinued, so if it's something that is specific to this unit, it will be very hard to source parts.

SOURCE: mid 70's sears turntable. plate will not spin.
take a soldiering iron and touch it to the metal in the center of the platter for a few seconds. this will heat up the grease on the inside and allow the platter to budge. should work fine afterwards. what happens is over time the grease hardens and locks everything up. applying some heat will loosen things up and get it running again
SOURCE: serato does not recognise my
serato is a software to be used with an external soundcard it doesnt care what turntables you have. u have to a rane mixer or one that is serato capable in order to use it. then you have to go and link and sync your time codes
