My record player spins wayyyyy too fast, maybe 2x as fast as it should. Any way to slow it down? The adjustments on the bottom don't do anything at all.

You may need to make sure the speed control arm that goes from the speed control adjustment screw to the spinning disk on the governor is adjusted and lubricated properly. These items are best adjusted with the motor board out of the machine.

Be careful, if you make the turntable spin too fast the weights on the governor will strike the motor frame and break the governor springs.

This could be the result of pitch adjustments gone awry. Also, you may have both the 45 and 33 1/3 buttons pushed down which cause it run at 78. Here are a few trouble shooting tips and you can find the full manual for the TT at the link posted below:

Record sounds too fast or too slow. 1.) Turntable is set for wrong speed. Make proper speed selection for record type being played with platter speed buttons. 2.) Variable pitch is engaged. Depress quartz button or return pitch adjust slider to center detent position to engage quartz lock. Moving pitch adjust slider produces no effect. If the LED next to the pitch adjust slider center detent position remains green when the slider is moved, quartz lock is engaged. Depress the quartz button to disengage the quartz lock and activate variable pitch. The LED should turn RED

sounds like maybe drain filter is plugged and unit is not draining fast enough. if you have drain access in front pull it out and clean it.

If your cuckoo runs too fast or slow, the best way to correct this problem is to set your cuckoo to an accurate watch or clock. After 24 hours, record how many minutes your cuckoo is running too fast or slow. Then adjust the bob up or down the pendulum stick to change the pendulms effective length. You'll need to take an educated guess as to the distance. Reset the cuckoo minute hand time to your watch or clock again. Repeat this process every 24 hours, recording the results, and readjusting the bob until you are within 3 minutes of the correct time. Then, switch from recording every day to recording every week. Use the same process described, recording the time difference, adjusting the bob up or down every week, until the cuckoo is accurate within approximately 3 minutes per week. Remember, mechanical cuckoo clocks are not as accurate as quartz or electric clocks! A three minute error per week is not bad. Maybe you can do better. What you are attempting to do is to obtain is the best timekeeping possible from your cuckoo clock. Afterwards, you will still need to sychronize the cuckoo (coo coo) clock minute hand to an accurate clock or watch, each week or as desired.

In the play area of the podcast, at the top right just below where the time remaining shows there is a number plus a cross i.e. 1x, 2x etc. press the 2x and it will go to 1/2x and then to 1x. That will set it back to normal speed. Hope this helps.

hi,
somewhere on that player is a switch for 78-45-33 rpm the speed switch look up around by the tone arm above by where the record goes, it may not be on the front. switch it to the correct record you have 45's are small. 78's are medium and 33rpms are the big records..

Hi,

If it is a re recordable cassette, you can record again. But if not you cannot actualyy do anything about it.
