Sounds like u got belt driven turntable

the bands are pretty easy to get a hold of, try your nearest dj shop or audio specialist

before u go buy a band tho, check it on another turntable, it may be the way the vinyl has been pressed

if you get a new band, and your still having the same problem, then your player’s pitch setting has gone kaput!

I am not a repairman, but I remember having a record player do this when I was a small girl. The turntable seemed to slip on the belt that caused it to turn. As far as getting your turntable repaired, I would see if in your local yellowpages there is anything for radio or music equipment repair and give them a call to see about getting it fixed.

Good luck!

i was given an really cool vintage 33 record player
and the same thing happened

i just carefully took it apart without moving any major pieces and sprayed some WD-40 on it.

so now it works like new

try it if you can
