The Fluance RT83 turntable is belt driven. This means that the motor that spins your records is attached to your turntable's platter by a belt.
The rubber belt on a Fluance turntable plays an essential role in preventing the platter which the record lays on from receiving any vibration produced by the motor.
If your turntable is having difficulty playing at your desired speed, or playing at all, it's likely time to replace your turntable's belt.
I will be using a Fluance RT83 for this guide, however, the guide will be applicable to Fluance's RT82, 83, 84, and 85 models.
Follow these simple steps to replace the belt on your Fluance turntable.
