Last week my 4.5 year old Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB went from spinning perfectly fine to slowing WAY down (like 33 seems to be spinning at like 20, and 45 at like 30) I swapped out the belt and lubed the subplatter but that didn't work so I took it to a local turntable expert recommended to me from a couple of friends and he said he can't fix it. I'm having trouble finding anyone else in San Francisco who can look at it, and it's pretty damn frustrating!
I imagine it's something with the built in speed box but really have no idea as I'm clueless when it comes to such matters. I have an email out to Pro-Ject but they haven't gotten back to me yet but am thinking if it is the SB then maybe I can have someone swap that out, or get an external SB and override the built in one (though that kinda defeats the purpose of having the TT I have)
So hear I am thinking I might just get a new turntable to replace this one...at this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do but thought I'd to see if that's a crazy idea or if I have no other choice in the matter since I can't find someone to fix my existing table.
Thoughts?
