Increasingly, I am receiving messages about faults on records, which are quite clearly a problem with these record players. Here are examples: The squeaking here is starting before the record is even playing! The problem here is that the spindle area needs lubricating. allforturntables.com have great information about this: https://allforturntables.com/2023/07/10/how-to-lubricate-a-record-player-3/ Records - particularly 7" 45 R.P.M. - stopping before the song ends is due to the auto stop mechanism being out of specification. The solution is to adjust the record player to fix this problem (best left to a qualified person), or turn the auto stop switch on the turntable to 'off'(see photo below - the switch is in the red circled area).
