I just received this. CR40 as a birthday present and the records on 33 1/3 speed spin too fast. I have a single that spins on 45 speed and it sounds normal. Any ideas on what to do to fix it? Thanks so much

Hello Runaround. If out of warrenty and you got the 'want to' unplug the AC, lock the stylus arm,open unit up and unplug your interconnect ribbon cables one at a time & reseat them this includes the socketed ICbds as well. If the speed adjust is mechnical check for an obstruction. Good luck!

I see your message isn't new anymore but Crosley does have a website with warranty and support info:

SOURCE: My Crosley turntable is spinning too fast at 33RPM
Mismatch speeds on older turntables is normally due to either 1) a kink in the speed switch mechanism or 2) a hardening and slipping of the rubber drive wheel.
A very small motor with a chamfered shaft drives the rubber drive wheel, and the wheel is moved by the speed control up and down the drive shaft to produce various rpm speeds.
In your case, it's likely turning at 45rpm because it isn't settling onto the 33rpm part of the shaft.
Piddle with the speed control, then count the speed (number of turns in a minute) You'll figure it out!

It sounds like you have too much pressure on the tone arm. Check the underside for springs. You might be able to remedy the problem the old fashioned way. Tape a coin onto the top of the tone arm, as far to the rear as possible. This will eliminate some of the downward pressure onto the record.
As grubhead implies, there is more to making a unit work on 'foreign' power than just making the plug fit in the socket. You don't say what was the input voltage used versus what it needs. It sounds like a 220 in to a 110 required device. Potentially it's toast unless the in-line fuse saved it. I'm sure the manual would have cautioned against what happened.
