Assuming it is the original ATN-3600 cartridge, a simple web search for "sony ps-lx250h replacement stylus" or "atn3600 stylus" locates some.

If the cartridge is something different you should search for that model's stylus, not one for the TT itself.

REMOVE SLIP MAT AND THEN TRY TO FIX ON THE MOTOR

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in installing the drive belt. Please click hear to get the instructions to install a drive belt. Please click on the sub links on the page to view the diagrams.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

Not knowing the electronics I'd imagine a close listen would reveal it's actually tinny as well as quiet. You probably need a Phono Preamp (Google it).

"PHONO" is the only designated connection on an audio device that is literal and exclusive. Nothing but PHONO will work right on it and old-school turntables would require it to preamplify the tiny current produced by a Phono cartridge.

If your unit doesn't have a PHONO connection AND your TT doesn't have a self-contained preamp you will have to get a Phono Preamp to connect between the TT and any Line Level input, like Aux.

eBay always has some...

Normally the belt does not go through any special tensioners or anything of that nature,The belt should go directly from the spindle motor onto the inside of the platter. Hook the belt on the motor section and lay the belt open wide inside the turntable. Next, replace the platter and manouvre the belt onto the platter inside, through the two large holes

Hello
The main reason for tone arm skips, skates, or does not advance are:

[1] The turntable is not level. Place the turntable on a level surface..
[2] The record is dirty or scratched. Clean the record with record cleaning kit.
Check these. there is no other reason for the instablity of tone arm. OK.

According to anything I can find online, like any decent turntable it has a manual pitch control. Unfortunately, I can't find a manual or even a good close-up picture.

This is the best one I've found.

What's that rectangular slider-looking thing at the front right edge?

If this is a belt drive then most of these speed increases are caused by the belt being in the wrong position. The belt could be faulty and my need to be replaced. Otherwise it could be due to a power supply problem, such as a faulty regulator to the supply of the motor. A check on the voltage to the motor will determine this. Assuming you know what the correct voltage should be! Of course with luck it will be higher than the motor is supposed to run at.

Hello

Check whether the drive belt is in position. If it has slipped out of the motor pulley, turn table won't turn when you push start button. Mke sure that power chord is connected firmly and the power does comes to the player. If drive belt is deteriorated replace it.
There is no other special faults to occur to the player. You have the manual and refer to its fittings. OK.
