Hi
Can any one tell me if there is an easy fix for a problem I have with the 45 rpm. The 45 rpm speed is generally very slow and varies. The speed at 33rpm seems fine. Is there a problem with the motor?

The first suspect is oxidation in the speed control pot and/or switch. A shot of good contact cleaner should help.

Cheers,
Alec

Another suspect could be the belt if it's worn the higher speed might be slipping whereas at the lower speed it might hold enough to get by always a recommendation to fit a new one.
It's a cracking little TT I've recently picked one up and am loving it
