Michael Turner:
Thanks for the info, I could not find this model in my "book"....
..... if it is indeed a direct drive unit then the motor controller, as you
suggested, is certainly the area to look....... bad solder joints? faulty
connections to the platter speed feedback sensor? faulty pitch controls?
failing electrolytics? faulty lubrication of the platter? etc?

Really need brand and model info.

It's in the first paragraph, an Aiwa PXE860. Which is AFAIK a direct-drive
turntable, no-belts. Suggest the OP checks around the motor controller.

Hi,
I am using an Aiwa PXE860 turntable currently. Recently, I was
playing a 33 rpm LP and all of the sudden, the speed went up
considerably for no reason. It sounded something like the LP being
played at 45 rpms.

I stopped playing the record, set the needle down and then tried
playing it again. Now, the record would not spin at all.

Later, I found that I could manually give the record a nudge in the
right direction and the platter would spin. However, the speed is
either too fast from the start of playing or it plays approximately
half of the LP before randomly speeding up.

Could anyone help me diagnose this problem? Is there a part I need to
replace or should I look into a new turntable? Thank you,
Josh Nightingale
