I own a Panasonic Technics Direct Drive Automatic SL-3200 turntable. It is about twenty years old. It has the strobe light so you can adjust the speed .
When I moved in with my wife eleven years ago, I was buying cd’s and not using the turntable much, then the speakers blew, so the turntable sat unused for a long time. Recently I acquired some speakers at a yard sale and cranked up the turntable. The speed no longer stays consistent. It is up and down many times in the course of an album.
Once upon a time I would have assumed that this was a problem with the turntable, but I recall reading here at Breaktime about the “quality” of electricity. We live in the country and, in fact, we are the last house on the electrical run (if our power goes out, the next door house north doesn’t because they are the last house from the other direction!).
The question is: Is it possible that the speed variance is an electrical problem? How can I tell? Is there a (cheap) fix?
Thanks.
