A relatively simple fix for a common problem. No blown parts and nothing replaced, just a speed re-alignment, a quick clean (by the workshop technician's best friend Mr. Acetone) and the unit's good to go. The customer should be a lot happier after this! 😎 At least you didn't get a turntable with an unusual fault (intermittently spinning backwards - that could be an interesting one to do a video on). 👍
Glad to be the first comment! Thank you for the competent repair. Would you be willing to scan that strobe disk, and post it somewhere on the web, with the exact dimension of the outside of the 33 1/3 ring, so that I can print and make one? I have never seen one of those in this country, and would love to make a copy? Thanks very much!
9:12 Sorry, but isn't acetone a bit aggressive for rubber straps? I know that even alcohol, for example, is not recommended for cleaning the rubber parts of the mechanics (such as pulleys, pinch rollers)
I have been using acetone for 40+ years with no adverse reactions. I used it for idlers, pinch rollers, and belts. Just bought a new gallon last week at the hardware store.
The only thing that Audio-Technica and Technics have in common is some of the letters in their names. Much like the same confusion in the 90s with Packard Bell and Hewlett-Packard computer equipment. AT has never been regarded as a high end turntable manufacturer. In fact they don't make turntables at all. They just source them out of China. They sell a model that is very similar in appearance to the Technics SL-1200, but the the AT is almost 4 pounds lighter and that should put to rest that they are the same turntable. In fact there are many SL-1200 clones out there (even Crosley has one), but none of them are of the same calibur of the Technics. When you research these turntables you will find that most of them come out of the same factory with different labels on them. You can find Denon, AT, Teac, and Sony turntables that look almost exactly the same except for subtle styling changes. AT is more known for their phono cartridges and microphones than anything else, they also make some decent headphones.

Thanks so much for posting this, really helped me with walking through what I needed to do to fix my own ATPLD2D

Hang on, it's not going to work! In South Africa, we have 50 Hz AC cycling. Tarnation!
Here is a link to a 50Hz disc www.vinylengine.com/ve_downloads/index.php?4_speed_50hz_strobe.pdf
nice work again,,how to mod led lamp,,i been using a neon ? thanks
I will do a video to show how in the future. Be on the lookout in the next few weeks.
In your opinion, is acetone as good as/or better than alcohol for this use?
How would it get that far out in the first place? Was someone noodling with the adjustment?

@@norcal715 Ok, thanks for the reply.
Hey I just assembled my player but it’s very quiet. Do I need an amp?
What input on your amp/receiver are you using? Do the have the turntable switch in the line lever or phono level output?
