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.

well that's the tiny motor problem, does it rattle or make a strange noise.... it has to

Most likely a faulty cartridge. To check disconnect the leads to the cartridge. With the amp switched on touch each of the wires one at a time with your finger. On two you will have little or no response but on one you should hear a buzz on the left and on the other a buzz on the right. If the buzz are equal in volume then the cartridge is faulty. If the buzz is weak on the left, then that suggest a faulty pre-amp stage in the amp. This pre-amp only affects the record deck, so you won't get it on other functions.

Turntables are simple if you've an amplifier with inputs labelled PHONO (not to be confused with audio plugs called phono or RCA)
If your amplifier hasn't then the sound from the cartridge on the arm won't be good quality.
To make it compatible with a line input usually labelled either that or AUX you'll need a phono converter box. There are quite high price ones but there are equally mid and even low-ish priced ones too.
Look around online for Phono-to-Aux adapters, converters or whatever description and/or visit electronic stores like Radio Shack (still in the USA) or Maplins (UK) if you're near any.

If they are the glass type fuses then they might still have the wattage on the metal ends. However that might be the least of your problems. Fuses blow like that due to an overload. So you should look around for a shorted device such as a power transistor or anything having an heat sink on it.

Manual here http://www.stantondj.com/pdf/manuals/str880_owners_manual.pdf The STR8-80 has a phono output on L-R RCA jacks which is switchable to line level It also has an S/PDIF digital output on an RCA cable (not optical) So the answer comes down to - what does your computer have for inputs? You may be able to put the line outs into a stereo microphone input if your computer has it. The best overall choice may be to get a USB audio interface to convert from analog to digital. Then you can run the L- R outputs in Line Out mode and the interface will handle the digitizing. https://www.wirerealm.com/guides/top-10-best-audio-interfaces

Not sure how a turntable will damage a vinyl record - the turntable merely turns the record at the right speed and it is the user's task to ensure the unit is level, the tone arm is in good order, a suitable cartridge and stylus is installed and the correct adjustment of stylus playing weight has been checked. A record deck is not really a plug-and-play unit but more a hobby; requiring tools (spirit level, magnifier, stylus balance) and a certain amount of skill and knowledge.
