The Crosley CR704 turntable is belt driven. This means the motor that spins your records is attached to the platter via a belt.
If you can hear the motor under your turn table working, but the platter won't spin, you may need to adjust or replace your drive-belt. Follow these easy steps to do so.

-
Unplug power cable (if it's plugged in) so you don't electrocute yourself (or loved ones).
-
Secure tone arm so it doesn't hurt itself (or you).
-
-
-
Using a flat edge (such as a spudger or a flathead screwdriver) pry the C-clamp from the center spindle by wedging the flat edge between the spindle and the C-clamp.
-
-
-
You can now lift the platter.
-
If the drive-belt is broken it will need to be replaced. If it is loose, you can simply re-secure it.
-
-
-
-
To replace the belt, wrap it around the inner circle of the bottom of the platter. Then stretch the belt around one of the two pegs found near the outer edge of the bottom of the platter.
-
-
-
Using your thumb as a guide, place the platter back onto the motor so that the peg holding the drive-belt wraps around the outside of the brass motor post.
-
-
-
Secure the platter all the way down and spin the platter clockwise until you hear a pop and feel resistance from the drive-belt catching.
-
-
-
You can replace the C-clamp by shoving it back into place around the center spindle (this will require some force).

followed instructions multiple times—hear and see that the drive motor is spinning but platter is not— what’s wrong
The belt is fine and placed correctly but the record speed (33 and 1/3) is off. Spins too fast.
Suggestions?
What is the size of the c-clip / c-clamp? I’d like to replace one.
Perfect! Needed to add some sewing oil to reduce squeaking, and didn't have a clue how it went back on. This helped immensely!
