The trimpots are inside the motor body and there is usually a foam dust cover in the holes which you need to punch-through gently with the trimmer driver until it locates in the slot of the pot then adjust it slowly until the speed is correct. They can only turn about one revolution of the screwdriver as there are end stops clockwise and anti-clockwise. There are two potentiometers (also known as trimpots) one for the 33rpm adjustment & one for 45rpm which have a slot for a thin (preferably plastic or non-metallic) trimmer screwdriver. That service manual doesn't open although I googled Sony X元00usb turntable service manual and the 14 page manual doesn't mention anywhere that the speed can be adjusted by using a screwdriver at bottom of turntable.Ĭlick to think I found the answer as to how to adjust the speed of this turntable from a guy on the internet but he mentioned what I was trying to turn with my screwdriver are not screws. Maby I better go to Home depot so I can see precisely what im buying. My luck would be if I order another set they will also not fit because theyre too blunt. So I guess i'll order a new set of mini screwdrivers that are higher end for precision fine work if that will solve my problem or may not. Better to go with a higher end watch quality screwdriver." I'm using the correct width of 3 mm, and even tried my 2.4 mm, 2 mm, 1.4 mm flat mini screwdrivers, they all fit (?) but the screw doesn't turn, maby the tip of the screwdrivers are too thick or blunt and doesn't fit properly into the slot of the screw since someone left a review of this exact set I bought- "Size in width is good but tip of blade is too blunt for fine work. Maby you're correct in saying im not using the correct flat screwdriver. This speed/pitch problem can never occur with a CD player even after 20 years but I guess most people (and manufacturers) who buy a turntable don't care about the pitch or speed and don't care if that album theyre playing is faster than an actual CD since no new turntables have that feature.Ĭlick to expand.That service manual doesn't open although I googled Sony X元00usb turntable service manual and the 14 page manual doesn't mention anywhere that the speed can be adjusted by using a screwdriver at bottom of turntable. Im surprised most people don't care to adjust the speed of their turntables with a simple dial or lever and LED digital display built in the turntable to confirm the actual speed BECAUSE ITS WELL KNOWN in time due to usage that the the pitch/ speed of turntables start to change, even in only 2 years of continued use. The problem will be if I buy another turntable of the exact same model after another seller confirms I can adjust the speed and find out I can't again, then I would have to go through all of this all over again. Its like if any other feature would not work on this turntable I would be entitled to return it. This Sony turntable has that feature available (thats why I bought it) for this model which are those screws marked as 45 and 33 rpm (they are there at the bottom of this turntable) in order to adjust pitch but they are not working so I should be entitled for a return. Apply something on top of the turntable like a clamp or anything else to come in contact with the rotating table that would reduce the speed just slightly? Im serious, there should be an easy way to reduce the speed of any and all turntables? Be serious with your replies please, how can I do this before I file a pay pal claim for reasons that the 45 rpm and 33 rpm screws are not working and cannot adjust the pitch. Since those screws don't seem to adjust the speed at all, is there any other way to slightly reduce the speed of this turntable (or any turntable) like buying a slightly larger or looser belt? Stretching this belt I already have with this turntable(im serious).
