Auto return turntable manufactured by Kenwood from 1988 to 1989. Part of the complete system Kenwood V-57.

Spins slowly or stops spinning

Hi, my turntable isn't working properly. I changed the belt out with a new one from an Amazon retailer, same issue as shown in video of the turning slowing and then stopping. I've noticed the belt slides down on the brass pin that rotates. When it slides down then it stops spinning the plate. Here's a quick YouTube video of spinning issues

Hi @curtobrien

Seems like the belt may be too big.

Perhaps try the method shown in the ifixit Kenwood KD-37R Belt Replacement and Modification guide and see if that works.

Looking online here's a supplier that shows that the belt size for the turntable is. Compare it to the one you have now and if you still have the original belt measure it as well.
