Most likely scenario is the grease on the turntable bearings has dried up into a paste like substance. If you remove the turntable and clean up the old grease, oil up the bearings and apply new grease, chances are (9 times outs 10) it'll be fine.

However, the drag caused by the semi-fuzed turntable bearings may have damaged the belt or drive wheel, depending on what type of machine you have (Belt or direct drive) You should inspect these parts while you have the turntable platter off the unit.

Can anyone help me fix some record players?
It's possible that there could be a problem with both record players. Here are some things to check:
For the Swingmate Concert Hall Automatic Record player:
  • Check to make sure the power cord is securely plugged in and that the outlet it's plugged into is working.
  • Check to see if there's a power switch on the back of the record player that needs to be turned on before the main power switch can be activated.
  • Check to see if the main power switch is stuck or blocked in some way. If so, try gently pushing or pulling it to see if it will move.
For the Zenith 4 speaker stereophonic record player:
  • Check to make sure the power cord is securely plugged in and that the outlet it's plugged into is working.
  • Check to see if there's a power switch on the back of the record player that needs to be turned on before the main power switch can be activated.
  • Check to see if the knob is stuck or blocked in some way. If so, try gently pushing or pulling it to see if it will move.
  • Check to see if there's a safety mechanism preventing the turntable from starting up. Some record players won't turn on if the tonearm is not in the correct position or if the record player cover is not closed.
If these suggestions don't work, it may be best to take the record players to a professional technician for further inspection and repair.

Had a GPX S7794 for years, now having trouble w/ turntable. Turns on by moving tone arm right, but if moved left to try to place it on a track towards the end of the record, turntable shuts off.
What happens is that a mechanical system under the turntable pushes on a micro switch to operate the motor. Clearly either the mechanical system has moved out of position or the switch has. You take the bottom off the turntable and see what happens when you move the arm.

DVD Player/Video Cassette Recorder
Hi It sounds like possibly there is stray RF getting into your video signal from your DVD/VCR combo to your tv. Check that your cables are ok, but also, if you can, try moving the unit in relation to the tv, if it is underneath, try putting it on top or beside the tv, I've seen the effect you describe be cause by lack of sheilding in both the tv and DVD/VCR, and moving the unit could cure it. Good Luck!
