Beogram 1900 always plays at 45rpm

2 replies
Hi! I am new here and am looking for some advice. I have just purchased a second-hand Beogram 1900 (with the +/- speed adjustment) and am having an issue with the motor. Both the 45 rpm and 33 rpm settings play at the same speed, basically at 45 rpm. At first the motor worked a little (at the 45 rpm setting with the speed adjustment set to maximum minus, it sounded a bit like 33 rpm) but then that stopped, and 33 plays like 45. Any help? Or can I provide any more information? Thanks!
Could it have something to do with the idler wheel? It was kind of "popping" up and making a noise at first, although now that has stopped.
