Crosley Suitcase Turntable Running Slow

[@LumpyOatmeal]

I appreciate you doing this vid mostly snark free! Most people would have been complaining the whole time!

I am a lady who is also one of your subscribers! I enjoy watching you work on turntables. And considering that your videos have helped me get my Pioneer PL-S30 up and running. But wow, I didn't realize how those Crosleys were made. I will stick with my Pioneer......LOL

Thanks for doing this! I realize these are rubbish, but my 12 year old bought one off Craigslist with her own money to listen to thrift store records. We're not talking hi-fi, but everyone gets started in the hobby somewhere! Hers runs slow as well, so I'll give it a go and see if I can't also get it running better. Learned a lot and found a new app I didn't know I needed! Thanks again!

Another lady viewer here. Thanks so much - mine is running fast, and maybe now I can fix it. Much appreciated!

Thank you ! I got one for Christmas and was very excited to play my new records. But mine is slowed down and sounds wobbley . Im going to try this ! Thank you for helping out a newbie ! =)

You're a better man than me for fixing this. I would have just thrown it in the bin.

The same mechanism is common to a lot of budget offerings. VWwestlife covers a lot of units that you could refer to as record players. Common mechanism is transplanted into various units and a brand name slapped on the front.

Great that you fixed it for someone, no judgements, just a kind gesture. _(but don't make it a habit! 😉😂)_

Interesting to see this worked on. At the risk of sounding like a turntable snob, I am glad I don't own one.

Nice video. Hope you didn't forget to put that c-clip back again on platter's spindle ;)

[@benmarcus5643]

Thanks so much for this!

Hello! Thank you for the tutorial! I use my little Crosley to teach music technology because of its portability, but even the kids were picking up that it wasn't running well. It's running much better now! I have a question though, what do you use to clean the needle? Your process was out of view a sec. Side note: I understand the affordability can get in the way of quality, but this might be the only way a person has to listen to records. A little less "complaining" about the product might be nice! not everyone can have the best.

This was so helpful! My Crosley Suitcase turntable belt keeps slipping off, so I assume I need to replace it. I am just wondering what size belt to get or if it's standard? Thanks so much!

I saw a Victrola record player and it looked like a cassette case.

A thankless task. Now you need a shower.

Crosleys are meant for rubbish because they destroy your records plus their sound an d cartridge is horrible
