Fix a Project TT ?

[MikeMusic]

Someone on The Afterword asks who can fix his

>Project II breifly started making a grinding noise and now the motor is spinning backwards.

Do we know someone in or near Berks ?

John Caswell in Finchampstead may be worth asking, I know he repairs turntables but not sure about Project stuff. Not sure if he is a member here but I know he sometimes posts on pfm or alternatively I have his number somewhere which I can PM if needed..

[PaulStewart]

If he's in Berks, he could try Henley in Didcot, who are the importers or my tech guy could do it if he wants to come to west London

Thanks both

Passed on, without naming names

Hopefully a component in the 'power supply' to the motor. The II was a good reliable deck I remember and well worth a good service while it's in being sorted out :)

I think there is only a cap with the motor, a good one if i remember, however you can get the motors from henley cheap, dead easy to swap out..

Service is a very good idea. Passed on

I have an exaggerated fear of breaking stuff when delving in kit
Same with diy. So often seems simple then becomes very long winded as I find out things I didn't know.

Thanks Neil

He hasn't answered yet after 2-3 days

Hmmm

If the motor is running backwards the capacitor is in need of replacement... The entire function of the cap is to get the motor tuning the proper direction on startup.

As for the grinding, does it make those noises when you turn the platter by hand?

[MikeMusic]

Not my deck Jim

Thanks for the answer

OP has gone AWOL, maybe back soon ....
