I have a crosley record player and the power will turn on then turn off within 2 seconds so my record player won't power up. I purchased a new adapter and it is still doing the same thing. What would you look for to fix the problem?

Is this a new unit or second hand ? , if new and still within warranty period I would go back to the shop you purchased it from if second hand probably write of the cost and buy anew one with a warranty

It sounds like the power switch might have broken.
Crosley might help you find a service centre, but since you didn't purchase it direct from them, that's all they will tell you.

Could be the capacitors that filter the final D.C voltage in the power apadter . If the capacitors fail the D.C voltage would have 50 or 60 hertz hum on it. If a diode has failed it could also cause a more severe pulsing of DC voltage. A oscilloscope would show up if the DC is being distorted but I do not know where you would get access to one. A repair shop maybe ?

- It is an issue with the DC 9V 0,4A jack (Power Supply).
There is not a right connection with the middle part of the connector.
The male connector of the record player is designed much too small
(or the female one of the adapter much too large).
I have used a crimped ferrule opened a little with a nail before.
- or check the adapter: Output DC 9V 0.4 A Direct(!) Current not AC
- plus in the middle of the Jack
Good luck!

Try the Crosley website they should be able to put you in touch with spare part dealers in your area.

Most turntables are belt driven. Suggest you take a look inside but remember to unplug the deck first. Usually it's a simple case of slipping the belt back on.

It seems like you will have to open cabinet and find your power in and check with volt meter to see if your infect getting power there. Also check fuse to see if its blown that can be done by putting your volt meter on ohms and make sure there is no power to the unit then go across fuse to check continuity if these is no continuity then

It could be the adapter is just faulty, but you can't tell to you get power to the unit if any part has failed inside (most liklely the transformer if it has).
I found this step-down adapter on amazon which should do the trick, not expensive either.

I had this same problem with my Crosley 704 and it bamboozled me to no end.

After digging around I dug up the manual online (I bought mine used so I didn't have one to consult). It turns out the record stops when it gets to the end, and to get it spinning again you have to lift up the tone arm and move it right (past the holding latch) until it clicks, and voila, it starts spinning again, ready for a new record.

You'd think that they coulda made it more obvious :(

plaese change the power cable and check the main fuse
