I have an old Sony Stereo Music System HP - 169 with a BSR Precision Crafted in Gt. Britain turntable ... everything works except the turntable won't do a thing. Table won't go around on its own .... when I push the start level, zilch .... HELP :) Thanks, Jan DeLaney Serial Number: 123753 (made in Korea)

The manufacturers of such items would usually buy in such hardware as record turntables from fairly standard catalogues.

One popular brand of turntable was the BSR but the design of other brands were similar. The metal gears aren't for driving the turntable but to drive the multichange mechanism so when one record has finished playing another will drop from the stack loaded onto the extended centre spindle.

This type of turntable is driven by a synchronous motor with a multidiameter spindle via a moveable idler wheel equipped with a soft rubber tyre. Lack of maintenance causes many problems and as the rubber tyre ages it tends to harden and lose traction on the inside of the steel turntable so when the record reaches the end and the metal gears engage there is insufficient torque and everything stops.
It is for that reason many older examples have had the multichange removed or disabled.

Removing the turntable centre motif should reveal a circlip which when removed will allow the turntable to be removed for maintenance.

BSR tended to make old style turntables, ones with a 78rpm speed on. I don't the model in question, but if it is a one of these, there's not much to them. Basically a rubber tyre runs inside the rim of the platter, while the tyre is pushed on a mains powered motor, in at least 3 different positions (depending on the speed). The tyre moves up and down depending which speed is selected.
Speed faults are caused by either a bad motor, or muck, oil, or grease in it.
A faulty tyre that is worn and doesn't push on the motor or platter anymore or not hard enough. Plus of course tyre height setting wrong.

I can't tell you how to hook it up, but it certainly can be done from experience with that Spatial Enhancer and a Equalizer. If I remember correctly, I had to add a Pre-AMP so I could hook up my Equilizer to my BSR Spatial Enhancer to the Receiver using Tape A or B. Years ago, I had a Pioneer SX 750 Receiver, a Realistic 20 Band Equalizer, your BSR Spatial Enhancer AND the BSR Spectrum Analyzer (just the Analyzer) unit and not the combo 3000 Equalizer and Analyzer. I had 2 Pre-Ams feeding into 2 Realistic 6 channel In 2 out Mixing Boards, 3 tape decks and 2 turntables and somehow got all of it to work. I wish I had kept the wiring diagram schematic I made, but that was 20 years ago when I last saw it. I'm now facing the same dilemma of keeping my xbox and Alexis Dot hooked up to the receiver as I ad the equalizer and the spatial enhancer. I think, (If I remember correctly) the Pre-Amps with the Turntables were the "Key". Like I said, it can be done as instead of 3 tape decks and a cd player and 2 turntables, along with a Reel to Reel system, I managed to feed it all in and get the sounds I wanted.

You will need to open the deck up from underneath. This should reveal some mechanical cause as to why the switch does work.

you enther need a receiver with a built in phonograph pre-amp or you need to purchase a separate phonograph pre-amp.

Check to make sure the speed switch is in the right position for the type of record you are playing.

hi, try to check the switch maybe or change it if possible..

Hi...
What model BSR is it?

I had the same problem. Here's the fix:

Control panel- Hardware & Sounds- Manage Audio Devices (under Sound)- Select Bluetooth Stereo Audio as default (right click- default) and Enjoy!

Could be a bad patch cord, a setting on the mixer, a faulty mixer (unless it works ok with other amps), or a dirty control on the Sony amp if it has analog controls. Have you tried connecting other sources to the Sony?
