Introduction
The belt rotates the platter of a record player’s turntable. If the turntable is spinning at an inconsistent speed, replacing the belt can help. The Heyday Suitcase Turntable uses a 40cm/15.75in belt.
Before beginning the repair, turn off the turntable and unplug the power cord from the device.
What you need
Step 1
Platter
- Unlock the front latches and open the turntable suitcase cover.
- Using angled tweezers or a Halberd spudger, pry the spindle shaft from the spindle.
- Be careful, as the spindle shaft may fly off in an unexpected direction.
