You need to calibrate your pitch control. This requires a small precision screwdriver (similar to something you would repair eye glasses with). If you look under the turntable where the pitch control is you will find 2 small holes, 1 marked 33 and 1 marked 45. Turn the turntable on and set the pitch control lever to zero pitch. While the turntable is spinning insert the screw driver into the pitch calibration hole under the turntable and twist the potentiometer back and forth until the turntable pitch is zero (I believe clockwise is faster, counterclockwise is slower as you look up from the bottom of the turntable). This is a fine tune adjustment and will not require much turning to adjust the speed (1 or 2 mm's) either way should start to bring you into zero pitch. The platter speed can be verified by the little dots on the rim of the platter. They should appear stationary in strobe light on the power switch when you are at zero pitch. When you are adjusting the speed you will observe the dots on the platter rim spinning clockwise and then counterclockwise as you adjust the fine tuning. Fine tune the speed until the dots appear stationary and you will be back to zero pitch. You have to adjust the turntable at both speeds 33 and 45 using the correct fine tuning hole under the turntable. My personal experience is it is easiest to do this with 2 people. 1 person to hold the turntable level and running, while the other adjusts the fine tuning. Hope this helps.

    This was very helpful, thank you so much! I have a Stanton T.52 and the 45 rpm speed was not fast enough, after some years of use. I managed to fix it with your tip.

Stanton T50 turntables.There is left/right play in the spindle which means the platter wobbles when pressure is put on it.Anyone know how to strip the top of the turntable to get to the spindle base?

Like most turntables, you have to strip the top of the platter of it's covers to get to what is holding the spindle in place. The cover might be held with glue. So you just have to force it off. You can glue it back after you have done. I suspect the spindle will be held by a horseshoe clip. Again another tricky thing to get off.

I would like to replace the pitch fader potentiometer on my turntable, could you advise on which part to buy?

Have you tried to spray it with Servisol Switch cleaner first?

It could be dust that is causing the problem, unless of course the slider is physically damaged.
It could save you a lot of money, if it is just cutting out intermittently.

Open stanton str8 100s to fix pitch button

Are you talking about a pitch control that you turn left or right, or are you talking about a push button to select speeds? Two very different things. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

So i was spinning on my wife's stanton str8 100's and the pitch control button is stuck. how can i fix it?

Are you referring to a speed selector switch or a pitch control? When you say it's stuck, are you referring to a control you push on or off, or something that turns? For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.
