How does this turntable switch from 33 to 45 rpms?

The drive motor has a two diameter stepped pulley. The smaller diameter is for 33 rpm. The larger diameter is for 45 rpm.

You have to lift off the platter and move the belt on the spindle up or down as the case may be. It's very quick and easy but if you do that a lot I'd suggest looking for a TT that has a switch for it.

If it helps I did find your model number on another site I found on Google. The turntable by the picture looks identical to mine. But its over 40 bucks

No. This turntable does not have a 78 rpm setting. There are similar models, such as the Audio-Technica ATLP120USB that plays 78's and has USB output to connect to your computer. Software and a built-in preamp are included. You should use a cartridge that allows changing the stylus with one intended for the wider groove of a 78, usually a 2.5 or 3 mil spherical diamond tip. This will insure reduced surface noise and distortion.

It will play 33 and 45 rpm records,It only has a diamond tip and not a sapphire tip which is required for playing 78's.

Just record it at 45, then record it again at 33. 45+33=78.That's the grand unifying theory of vinyl.

Yes. Remove the four screws holding the top onto the body, then adjust the spring tension screw underneath. Adjust in small increments, then test. It takes awhile. Just don't let the turntable and tone arm flop around too much while adjusting the reset screw.

There two several adjustment settings for record speed and sizes. On the front of the unit next to the Sony name is the speed adjustment. But you also have to select the size if you want it to auto play. The size adjustment is located in front of the record arm when you open it up on the right. Speed and size adjustment are for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm...

Yes, I have. This turntable is a piece of crap. I bought a different one after a few frustrating weeks of dealing with this thing.

I don't believe this model allows changing of the needle. Google the name,model,and needle issue...you might get some results. I just ordered a new turntable this christmas of better quality that allows for needle changes. I needed to have a specific needle for the 78 rpm's I want to play. Good Luck!John from Duluth,Mn.

This is funny. Looks like some people are too young to have ever used a manual turntable. The turntable will turn on and spin automatically when the arm is pushed over the record and lowered! Just like my old Technics turntable.

I think your machine has got a hardware failure. It sounds a little like something is broken in the turntable mechanism. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. (Oh, and no I haven't had anything like this happen in mine.)

No. Only 33 1/3 & 45 rpm, (requires you to move the belt to a different pulley for 45's)

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.

The variable speed function you desire is found on some TASCAM/TEAC Pro Audio CD players. They are very rugged, built for hard use and repair support is found in most metro areas. Suggest you first check Mfgr's website for detailed product info. You will get what you pay for. Cheers!

Dear Michael,Thanks so much for your question. The Marantz TT42P turntable has a switch that allows you to turn the built-in preamp on or off, depending on whether you would be connecting to a dedicated phono input on your amplifier. Let me know if I can be of additional assistance!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Given that this is a UK import, if you're planning to use this in the UK or Europe I'd talk directly to the manufacturer and see if they make a 110 model. Stepping down will adversely affect the motor speed and thus may not even play at 33rpm.

A 300 W power supply should be plenty for 37 W. As I understand it the turntable is calibrated for 50 Hz, so indeed will run faster with 60 Hz. Generally it is possible to change the speed for turntables, which can be optimized using a lamp using the stroboscopic effect of the 60 Hz power frequency. You need a calibration pattern, which is generally present on the side of the turntable.
