Gemini PDT-6000 Turntable Questions & Answers
GOING FROM 45 TO 33
I don't know if this model is direct driven or by belt. If it's belt driven then the belt could be fitted incorrectly, or faulty. Another possibilty is that there's a fault in the motor control circuit.
My 33 & 45 speed giving problems
HELLO
I have just posted a cure for this deck, it is to do with the microswitches under the speed select buttons - they need to be replaced. Just repaired mine today - now there are no more problems selecting speeds.
If the speed goes back to 33 when the deck is switched off, this is because 33 is the default.
ALL THE BEST!
Muffled sound
HELLO!
I don't think the problem is the actual stylus (needle), it sounds like the magnetic cartridge has become faulty in some way (it does happen). My advice is try another cartridge and stylus (borrow if you can). If the audio stays the same then it MAY be the wiring in the arm going through the plinth (deck) and these wires terminate to pins or a small pcb board in the turntable where the phono cables and arm wires are connected. There may be a bad connection inside.
Also, make sure your tonearm counterweight and anti-skate are set up properly as well as this can have an effect on audio.
I hope this helps as I have been into audio since I was a kid!
How to adjust VTA ongemini 500
This is not an audiophile turntable. There is no provision for adjusting the vertical tracking angle.
The closest you can come to making an adjustment is to place shims between the phono cartridge and the headshell.

The right channel has failed and I am looking for
As far as I know, Gemini does not release schematics outside of their authorized service centers. If only one channel is out, you shouldbe able to A/B the two to find the problem components. If the side is completely blown, the most likely problem is the output transistors. Start with those and work back. If you need further details on the method, update this with any questions.
