The turntable on my TEAC GF-350 is running ever so slightly too fast. I found a video on YouTube that showed how to adjust the speed directly on the motor for a different TEAC model. I just can’t figure out how to release the turntable to get to the motor or belt or anything. The service manual wasn’t much help either. An exploded schematic and parts list but no instructions in how to access. EDIT: Created a device page with a picture, user manual, and service manual.
Hi @brazedowl , Is the speed too fast for both 33rpm and 45rpm records? (assuming you don’t have any 78 records - or do you? ;-) Can you access the player speed switch pcb? It is not shown in the parts diagram but it is in the wiring diagram. Presumably it is under the speed selector switch on the player. If you can and if all speeds are affected, try adjusting VR2 up or down(not sure which way but do it slowly and gradually) on the player speed switch pcb, to get the correct speed, as it can affect all of the speeds. If only 45 rpm, adjust VR3 and if only 78rpm adjust VR4. Here’s an image from the manual that shows the circuit how these potentiometers can affect the turntable motor speed.
