I just got a record player but the turntable is too slow! How to fix it?
I have it on the 33 setting but it's too slow and when I turn it to the 45 then it hardly turns at all. Everything else is ok on it and it plays the records but it sounds funky cause its so slow. Any way to fix this myself without blowing a bunch of money??
Anything helps.
Thanks! 
It depends what kind of table it is….
If it’s a belt-drive, a new belt may fix it right up. If it’s an idler wheel drive, very lightly sanding around the edge of the rubber idler wheel removes a hard, slippery glaze that very often forms and causes slippage, low torque and slow speed like a loose belt would. You need to remove the platter to get to the belt or idler wheel. You may need to remove a C-clip that keeps the platter from being lifted
If it’s a table with a DC motor and electronic speed control, there are usually PC board mounted controls inside to fine-tune the speed of the 33 and 45 settings using a small screwdriver.
You can print strobe discs here to set the speed perfectly if turns out your table can be adjusted…

Good luck! I may be able to help more if you can tell me more about the table or take some photos… Feel free to message me.
