My Philco pd20yw got no power at all. How to fix it?

Just choose a power cord of good quality. That is all.

You are describing too problems, won't close all the way, could be a bad loadind belt. the second issue it will not play, the timing gear is out of sync, or the laser pickup is not functioning, you will need to take it to a service shop for assessment.

truntable go fast

eBay sells them all day long, 9.99

Check lpgear.com for Philco stylus replacement. You may need to find the "Contact Us" tab and request information for your particular model, but if they can't help you, then contact Philco (division of Ford Motor Co.)

about 3% of the time the 'brains' get scrambled, try unplugging it from the wall for a few minutes, sometimes this will 'fix' it.
if so, a power surge from your power company might have got it confused, if the problem continues try a surge protector power strip.

just find a local electronic repair shop near you
look in the phone book for electronic /electronic repar shop
i have had to repair these before and the selector chip has failed because of a resistor letting to much current and voltage go into the chip , repair cost $40-$50 depending on the dammage

This unit takes a 12V 0.5A DC power supply. Your local Radio Shack sells this type of supply that will plug into the wall. You'll need to make sure that the other end will plug into the turntable, but for the supply, Radio Shack is probably the quickest way.
