Addressing some speed issues & a bad thrust bearing on the PL 50A.

Haven’t had much luck with these era of turntables. Typically fast or slow. I think they call it AC synchronous motors there’s no speed pots or strobe to monitor

Yeah, it takes a bit to get them dialed in.

Where can I buy that spindle bearing?

Pats Audio on eBay is where I purchased the thrust bearing.
